...cryogenics now occupies the attention of hundreds of scientists, has growing applications in industry and science and shows fascinating promise for the near future. Scientists are already talking about cryogenic technology that will make possible transmission lines that conduct electricity without power losses, switching elements that make computers incredibly faster and smaller, and high-speed trains that float on magnetic cushions...
Another strange property of superconductors makes them ideal for use in computers; when they are placed in a magnetic field, their electrical resistance reappears. Thus by alternately applying and withdrawing a magnetic field, scientists can turn a superconductor into an on-off switching device many times faster (and many times smaller) than the solid-state semiconductors now used computers. With cryogenic techniques, a closet-size computer could fit in a shoe box. Cryogenics will also make possible such esoteric devices as loss-free superconductive motors with rotors that float in liquid helium, and superconductive gyroscopes that float in frictionless magnetic...
...been noted for their dulcet tones, they have lately revved up their banshee banter in an effort to match the increasing amplification of the big beat. The Evinrude delivery stems partly from the fact that "total shout" radio sells so well these days that the decibelters have to talk faster to squeeze in all the commercials. Sponsors know that, as the jocks put it, to get the green from the teens' jeans you have to be beamed to the scream. Since not even Madison Avenue can conjure up their sales pitch, many rock jockeys operate consulting firms for advertisers...
Jeff Huvelle beat 106 other upperclassmen in the one and eighth-tenths mile race around Soldiers' Field. His time was three seconds faster than that of last year's winner...
...emphasis on the social effects of highways on the cities through which they pass. Nash agreed with that analysis and added that many of the assumptions backing the Inner Belt are now outmoded. In 1948, it was supposed that Boston would grow--both in population and employment--at a faster rate than it actually has. The Massachusetts Turnpike extension into Boston has already taken some of the pressure off downtown Boston's crowded Central Artery--a function which is the Inner Belt's raison d'etre...
