Simultaneously time-sharing has started to expand faster than batch-processing. The Medical School, and medicine in general, have started buying large chunks of time on the SDS 940. One new project responsible for this upsurge is a heart-care unit to monitor continuous heart-patient problems, and to detect subtler signs of danger than the cardiologist can ordinarily hope to notice. Consoles also aid interviews with patients suspected of having genetic problems, by rapidly accumulating genetic history...
...whippier than steel, but their extreme flexibility only tends to exaggerate flaws in a golfer's swing. Aluminum is more rigid than fiber glass, and lighter than steel. The lighter shaft allows manufacturers to put more weight into the club head. The result for the golfer: a faster swing with the same effort-and increased distance on each shot. Another advantage of the speeded-up swing is that the club head tends to rotate less, thereby reducing the chances of hooking or slicing the ball. Tempering the aluminum so that it would not bend was the major manufacturing problem...
...Bigger, faster and more efficient than today's planes, the upcoming generation of jumbo jets and supersonic transports will enable airlines to fly the skies more economically than ever. Economies will be hard to come by, however, when such planes are on the ground. Rather than go it alone in footing the bills for servicing and overhauling, Eastern Air Lines and Trans World Airlines embarked last week on a joint project designed to reduce the cost of maintaining their future superjet fleets...
Americans were led to see their country as distinctly different, environmentally, from Europe. They pioneered in practical scientific study, and found that their nature was better, their people grew bigger, and their population grew faster, Commager said...
...week during the summer season) by Pan American World Airways and Aeroflot, the U.S.S.R.'s government-owned airline. Though U.S. and Soviet officials agreed more than a year ago to start such flights, the Russians were understandably reluctant to pit their obsolescent turboprop TU-114s against the much faster (600 m.p.h.) Boeing 707-320C jetliners that Pan Am plans to use on the runs. The IL-62, with a 560-m.p.h. cruising speed only slightly slower than the Boeing, was the obvious Soviet answer, but it had been beset by bugs ever since its maiden flight...
