...above graph shows the type of plan, premium rate per student, and sample benefits that are offered by various health plans. All plans include 24-hour, emergency coverage, and provide coverage for a full year. Cross and Blue Shield, with a $60.72 annual premium per student...
...make up its mind what help, if any, it is prepared to extend to Pan Am and the other major U.S. international airline, TWA (which lost $86.8 million in the first half of 1975). One senior Pan Am executive has constructed what he calls a "prayer mat": a graph that contrasts the lavish government benefits received by foreign airlines with the absence of any special assistance...
...projectors take the present, put it on the old slide rule, and compute ahead into tomorrow, worrying whether technology's last achievement will be to foresee technology's demise. On the other hand, the mystics think of the future not as the next extension on the graph but rather as an alternative universe, as different from this one as heaven or hell...
Control Chip. Laid out in 120 horizontal and 120 vertical lines, these components form a graph-paper-like pattern in which there are 14,400 points of intersection. At each intersection, there are two transistors and one capacitor. If a signal is sent to a particular intersection, the components there will light up the layer of phosphorescent material immediately above them. That creates a dot that can glow with varying intensity. If a number of intersections are triggered simultaneously, an image is formed. In their current prototype, the Westinghouse engineers form images by using an external switching device to feed...
...hold off the invasion with light scholarly musket fire. Statistics and averages are misleading. (Everyone knows the story of the nonswimming statistician who drowned in trying to wade a river with an average depth of three feet.) Sociologists are well known for expending a king's ransom on graph paper, conferences and field work to prove something that everybody knows, e.g., there is some likelihood you will marry the girl next door. Besides, as Arthur Schlesinger Jr. once said, "Almost all important questions are important precisely because they are not susceptible to quantitative answers...
