...Geils Band: Love Stinks (EMI-America). Best title of the year. "I been through diamonds/ I been through minks/I been through it all/ Love stinks" is good cautionary advice for a heady season. It's not Sir John Suckling, but it sure beats Seger's pastilles about star-crossed lovers and drip-dry romances. The J. Geils Band, like Seger, has a hard r & b foundation, but, unlike Seger, they are not going overripe. This is a good-times record that makes no apologies for its frivolity, comes off fresh, wild and goofy -like a recital...
They had never met, never corresponded. But on opposite sides of the Atlantic, U.S. Physicist Allan Cormack, 55, of Tufts University, and Research Engineer Godfrey Hounsfield, 60, of the British firm EMI Ltd., brooded over the same mathematical puzzle and independently reached the same solution. The puzzle: how to produce an X-ray image of tissue at any depth within a patient. The result: the CAT (for computerized axial tomography) scanner, a medical marvel now used in hospitals round the world. Last week the two scientists learned that they have something else in common: they will share the 1979 Nobel...
Five years later, Hounsfield attacked the same puzzle for EMI, solved it in much the same way and applied it first to a prototype computerized head scanner, then to a body scanner, both of which EMI patented. These devices were able to distinguish soft tissues and organs and spot abnormalities by producing television images shaded according to the density of the tissue. Since then, widespread use of the scanner has drawn critics who argue that the machine's hefty price-up to $700,000 and more-drives up the cost of medical care at hospitals that could...
Cormack shares his prize which was announced Thursday with British engineer Godfrey N. Housfield who designed the first working CAT scanner for EMI, a British company...
...Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) playing a warehouse worker who becomes one of the country's most powerful labor leaders. Dubuque has the ambience of an industrial town of the 1930s. Another production, The Betsy, about infighting in the auto industry, is, naturally, being shot in Detroit. Much footage for EMI Limited's The Deer Hunter, a blue-collar special starring Robert De Niro, was shot in a bowling alley in Struthers, Ohio, and a U.S. Steel plant in Cleveland. Bette Davis is starring in Harvest Home, a Universal Production for NBC being shot in Conneaut, Ohio...
