...ever had. Most perceptive editorial writers agreed with what he said ("earnest and impressive," said the often-critical Washington Post and Times Herald). But most also thought that he was far too late in saying it. "He should have moved when Secretary Humphrey made his incredible [curl your hair] criticism," said the pro-budget Atlanta Constitution. "Meanwhile, the enemies took possession of the field and established themselves on all the strategic positions in the political terrain...

A transparent film impregnated with photochromic capsules can be written upon in coded dots of color by a hair-thin beam of light. A beam of neutral light that does not affect the dots can read them off in thousandths of a second, or a beam of bleaching wave length can erase them. The capsules can be made so small that the entire Bible could be printed in code...
