Such measurements are as important to spacecraft as the celestial fixes by which oldtime navigators found their way across the oceans. If the spacecraft is guided by a mechanical navigator, the findings of the star scanner can be fed directly into the navigator's electronic brain. If the craft has a human crew, the heading can be read from dials or other display devices. One promising version of the new system will use the sun as a kind of North Pole. But as man's machines get farther into space, the scanner might locate a prominent star such...
Heteroplasia. Gradually, the circumspect Vatican began to reveal the truth of the Pope's illness: he had "gastric heteroplasia"-a tumor, perhaps cancerous (although only surgery could tell), that caused hemorrhages and anemia. Unable to hold down food, the Pope was being fed intravenously. One of Italy's best anesthesiologists, Dr. Piero Mazzoni, moved into the Vatican on 24-hour watch to administer transfusions, coagulants and morphine injections-the only treatments, since surgeons had decided against an operation or radiation treatments...
...their brokers phone regularly, their names are printed in big block letters on the sides of their cars-and they owe it all to a 500-lb. hunk of aluminum, nickel and cast iron that is just as tough as they are: the Meyer-Drake Offenhauser engine. Force-fed by fuel injection, the Offy gulps methanol (wood alcohol) at the rate of one gallon every four miles. It has only two gears-low and high-and four cylinders, but it turns out 100 h.p. for each cylinder, and it can propel a racing car at 180 m.p.h. In 29 years...
...giants have a common background. All have fed on the recent trend to women's casual clothes and the emerging purchasing power of the 15-to 24-year-olds, who represent 13% of the U.S. female population but, along with others who can wear their sizes, make 35% of its clothes purchases. Making a hit with the junior sizes, the big companies amassed enough capital to plan beyond a season at a time. They learned better merchandising, pushed brand names with national advertising, mailers and store displays. Increasing capital and slower style changes have allowed them to concentrate...
