...words and letters of the ma chine's vocabulary* were originally spoken into a recording device by Walter Jennison, a Teleregister Corp. engineer who could speak with the necessary clarity. Then the words were recorded on a revolving magnetic drum. What the computer does is to extract the latest quotations from its continually refurbished memory, translate them into the proper words taken from the drum, and transmit them to the listening broker over the telephone line. It makes no mistakes, never gets tired, and costs $100 per month...
When God spoke to man centuries ago, it was far easier to believe that the sun stood still or water turned into wine. But what is science-minded man to make of the Bible? How can he extract its real meaning for today from a hard-to-swallow supernatural framework? These are not easy questions, and lately they have been getting a rather hard answer from Dr. Rudolf Bultmann's Marburg Disciples (TiME, June 21), who dominate German theology the way the Russians rule chess. They call their answer "the new hermeneutic...
...knowledge that many valuable elements, including gold, are found in sea water has nourished a long dream of riches. But try as they would, no seawater miners could recover precious metals in practical quantities. Germany's famed Chemist Fritz Haber spent years after World War I trying to extract gold from the ocean to pay off his country's war reparations. He failed, and finally gave up the struggle. But in Angewandte Chemie (Applied Chemistry) another German chemist tells how he took a long step toward success, using subtle modern techniques...
...their elegant laboratories near La Jolla, Calif., General Dynamics scientists are doggedly attacking a difficult problem: how to extract controlled power from hydrogen fusion. The pay off for their work is hidden in the future, but the powerful magnetic fields they have built to hold reacting hydrogen gas at 100 million degrees has already yielded a valuable practical "fallout." Those same magnetic forces used on a smaller scale have proved remarkably versatile for shaping metal...
...changing fast. In Rochin v. California (1952), for example, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the conviction of an alleged drug addict because the evidence against him was obtained by forced stomach pumping. It is anomalous, wrote Justice Felix Frankfurter, "to hold that to convict a man the police cannot extract by force what is in his mind, but can extract what is in his stomach...
