...Gropius, 78, stood up to receive the second Kaufmann International Design Award, a tax-free $20,000, for his "achievement in design education" while founder and director of Germany's austerely functional Bauhaus. Gropius cast a wry glance at most modern buildings, said, "It seems completely futile to inject quality into buildings and goods which are created only for their short entertainment value." What was needed in the U.S., said Gropius, was a movement like Britain's "Anti-Uglies," irate architecture buffs who recently forced withdrawal of plans for an offending office building on London's Piccadilly...
...where a stationary thundercloud forms almost every day above 10,300-ft Mount Withington. The scientists flew instrument-laden balloons into the handy cloud; they flew airplanes through it and over it. With a helicopter they strung thin wires between Mount Withington and neighboring peaks, and used them to inject electrical charges into clouds. Though they gathered valuable information about cloud electricity, none of their efforts made lightning strike when they wanted...
Another team of researchers, headed by Northwestern University's Dr. Joseph Boggs, has used some of the Parke, Davis viruses to inject into prisoner-volunteers at Illinois State Penitentiary and produce a form of hepatitis...
...near future," but that is now a relatively irrelevant matter. The issue is oral Type III. All vaccine batches are brewed separately by types, and samples are sent to the PHS's Division of Biologies Standards for testing of safety and potency. The toughest safety test is to inject vaccine directly into the brains of monkeys. If autopsies show any appreciable virus damage to the monkeys' nerve centers, PHS orders the vaccine discarded. Type I vaccine has already passed this rigorous test the required five times; Type II is nearing the finish line. But for reasons unknown, Type...
Transit's intricate workings [TIME, July 7] depend on an electronic system that ground stations can "inject" with information enabling the satellite to tell where it is on its orbit. Ships with proper equipment (a precision receiver and a computer) can pinpoint the moment when the satellite comes closest to them, how far away it is, and in what direction. From this information, the computer can quickly deduce the ship's position...
