...COUPLE consists of a gruff sportswriter (Walter Matthau) and a fuss-budgety newscaster (Art Carney) who share living quarters after losing their wives. Thanks to them, plus Playwright Neil Simon and Director Mike Nichols, this ménage produces a volcanic flow of laughs...
Window in a Pivot. Then his case came to the attention of the neurosurgery department at the University of California Medical Center. There, like so many neurosurgeons before him, Dr. George C. Stevenson had been challenged by that seemingly impregnable floor of the skull. While studying blood flow in the brains of monkeys, he had learned how to slice through the anatomical maze at the brain's base with the aid of a binocular surgical microscope, and he had practiced putting tourniquets on the basilar artery...
Some women, to be sure, sail through menopause experiencing no more than changes in menstrual flow. But as post-menopausal aging continues, skin begins to lose its tone, bosoms their lift and bones their hardness. Fatty deposits may pile up in the arteries and leave a woman vulnerable to heart at tacks. Regular doses of estrogens, says the University of Chicago's Dr. M. Edward Davis, can delay the onset of such changes and diminish their impact. There is even a test-an adaptation of the familiar "Pap smear" for detecting uterine cancer-that indicates how much medication...
...inner ends of 2880 pellets of a germanium-silicon material were heated while their outer ends were kept comparatively cool by heat radiation into space. The germanium-silicon combination is "thermoelectric," it changes heat to electricity, and the difference between the two temperatures caused a faint current to flow. That current added up to about 650 watts-hardly enough to run a household toaster-but it was the first fission energy to be generated in space. Hitched to a more efficient converter, said the AEC, the same reactor could generate "some tens of kilowatts...
With half a dozen plots to juggle, Preminger keeps all of them interesting for at least two of the three hours spent In Harm's Way. At one moment he shrewdly plays the grimness of war against the undeniable glamour of it, next diverts the flow of sentimental clichés into a vein of snappish humor. "I'd enjoy meeting your son," says Meredith. "Naw-you wouldn't," grumbles Wayne, eying the lad across a messroom with eloquent distaste. Other scenes crackle comfortably: O'Neal cravenly having his backbone slapped into shape...
