...Location. But in the Circle of Willis (named for English Anatomist Thomas Willis, who described it in 1664), surgery is tricky. Into the circle, like highways converging into a cloverleaf, the four ascending arteries pour the brain's blood supply, and from the circle branch off the principal feeder lines from which oxygen is extracted for the brain's ceaseless activity. Located inside the skull about the eye-and-ear level, the Circle of Willis is in too dangerous a place for surgeons to cut into its vessels. Yet the different segments of the circle's perimeter...
...eventful flight-they follow flocks of exotic birds, drop in on a bullfight-is followed by a supply car on the ground carrying the professor's comic assistant, a Chaplinesque caricature of gadget-addicted modern man, whose wine bottle is hinged within reach and who uses an automatic feeder so that he doesn't have to stop driving. One of Voyage's greatest assets stems from Lamorisse's color technique (he photographs in Eastman color and prints on Technicolor stock), which gives his film a Utrillo-like, ethereal aura...
...Jose State (18,000), another feeder for the aviation-electronics industry (Ampex, G.E., Lockheed). S.J. has a $4,000,000 industrial-arts building, an expanding $9,000,000 engineering center.

Fairchild Engine suffered from the cancellation of the Goose missile, and its F-27 turboprop transports have not sold well to feeder lines. Fairchild hopes to branch out into new products, feels that "every business has something in it that has growth, even if the business as a whole does not." One new development that could help his company: the USD-5, an unmanned electric-eye drone capable of flying over enemy...
...economics of the airline business will eventually force Capital to merge if he can build it up into a desirable property. This week he will start to salvage Capital by shaking up its second-echelon executives. Next, he hopes to get rid of Capital's money-losing feeder routes. Says he: "If we were relieved of our Tobacco Road route and the feeder-line system, Capital could make money...
