With a system called "Sketchpad," which he originated while a graduate student at M.I.T., a computer operator can draw a diagram of an electric circuit or a picture of something like an airplane wing, using an electronic "light pen" on a special screen...
...advances grows almost daily. Last week in San Francisco, at the annual meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society, a novel, three-dimensional fluoroscopy machine was displayed by General Electric. A complex welter of mirrors, polarizing filters, lenses, an image intensifier and a two-cathode X-ray tube (see diagram), G.E.'s Stereo Fluoricon shows a patient to his physician as a green 3-D image, "like a skeleton with its organs hung inside." Other X-ray machines and sonar beams have produced similar 3-D effects, but previous processes were too cumbersome or time-consuming to be easily...
...entire text of the report on the Medical School's curriculum is printed below. Several sentences referring to a schematic diagram (not reproduced here) have been deleted. Also, an appendix to the report has not been reprinted...
...skip rope between us," reported Conrad. To stabilize the ships, he again fired Gemini's thrusters, this time sending the rope-connected ships into a slow, cartwheeling rotation around the system's center of mass-a point on the rope 35 ft. from the Gemini (see diagram). Gradually, as Gemini and Agena revolved in a giant circle, the rope stretched tight, the oscillations stopped, and the two craft continued in orbit a fixed distance apart...
Because of increasing camera problems, project controllers huddled at week's end, trying to decide whether to scrub the scheduled plan of lowering the spacecraft to within 28 miles of the lunar surface in order to photograph nine target areas where astronauts may some day walk (see diagram). At that height, the orbiter's high-resolution 600-mm. lens could shoot objects as small as a card table. At last they decided to go ahead, hoping that under different conditions of lunar orbit, the camera might well begin operating properly again...
