...individual "operatories," ten general, and six specially equipped for more difficult surgery. There are dozens of the latest high-speed drills (up to 300,000 r.p.m.), a $40,000 anesthesia setup; such safeguards as visible-image electrocardioscopes, audible heart-tone monitors, pacemakers, defrbrillators and resuscitation gear.

Beadle, the late Dr. Albert Einstein and 15 other Nobel prizewinners. The magazine was redesigned to offer a rich reading diet of articles on all the leading science disciplines: the physical, social, technical, medical and life sciences.
