...years, British Cameraman Peter Scoones has had an unlikely dream. A dedicated scuba diver, he wanted to photograph a live coelacanth (pronounced seal-ah-kanlh), the ancient, almost legendary, stump-legged fish which once was believed to have died out soon after the dinosaurs. Now this paparazzo of the deep has nailed his prey. Last week Scoones released rare color photographs of one of these "living fossils," swimming contentedly for his camera in the Indian Ocean off the Comoro Islands near the Malagasy Republic...
...Harvard provides the hardware, and Carpenter Center has the equipment most animators and fledgling studios improvise or do without, like the Oxberry. The Oxberry is an electric dream machine: it lights your drawings from below or polarizes the light from the sides; it fades or dissolves on command.

First we must convince the local management and local union that they ought to try something, then, we let representatives get together to see what they can dream up and begin involving the workers on only a voluntary basis. At that point there's no end to the ingenuity of people to decide what they want to do--all the way from deciding what color they want their machinery painted, to laying out a plant, to laying out an operation, to developing the methods, means and processes of manufacturing...
