...nation to the Oval Office. Presidential TV Aide Rick Neustadt says that in the old days a President could make a controversial announcement in the afternoon and know there could be no public answers on television until the next day: to set up cameras and process and edit film took too long to make the evening news. But new technology has made instant response a fact. Carter can make a statement on energy or the Panama Canal, and by nightfall be outshouted by his critics...
...hardware is more easily available than the software or readymade programs telling the computer what to do. But addicts nevertheless manage to find plenty of applications for their new toys. Robert Goodyear, 62, a Framingham, Mass., physicist, uses his computer to tap out and edit his personal correspondence. Manhattan Physician Joseph J. Sanger cross-indexes his medical journals to provide him with instant, tailor-made refresher courses on any disease he asks for. Ham Radio Operator Irving Osser of Beverly Hills has programmed his computer to keep a log of the people he talks to on his radio...
Piepkorn suddenly died of a heart attack in 1973 at age 66, leaving behind 2,900 pages of manuscript and a file-crammed study. His friend, Concordia President John Tietjen, undertook to edit the project for publication.

...Brooklyn and The Bronx are not Times readers (a defense the paper does not offer in covering other parts of the world). But Times people also claim that local coverage has improved since Sydney Schanberg became metropolitan editor in May, replacing Mitchel Levitas, who was moved sideways to edit the Sunday Week in Review section. Schanberg straightaway told his 100 or so metropolitan reporters that he wanted everybody "to have fun." Productivity has increased among reporters who were previously alienated, bored or overlooked; Times local coverage is growing more aggressive. The paper last month, for example, printed the names...
...most obvious (and most optimistic) continuity in Fairbank's life has been his complete dedication to his China mission. It is not surprising that the first major task of his retirement will be to edit the new Cambridge History of Modern China. Some say that Fairbank's editing of the extensive series, in addition to his writing one of the volumes himself, may take the professor the rest of his life. But the Fairbanks seem to have the gift of the East for age as well as wisdom. Fairbank's mother, who is over 100, is still living...
