Leontief came to Harvard with the understanding that he could begin research on what has become famous as "input-output" economics, which studies the inter-relationships of the commodity-flows among the various sectors of the economy. The terms of his initial small grant were pessimistic; one clause provided, "Mr. Leontief will report even if he fails." "They wanted at least a memorandum for their money," he recalls...
...Harvard professor. "I say to Leontief. 'You'll have everything ready for the commissars.'" An article in Business Week depicted, under a slightly sinister picture of Wassily Leontief, American business men already shivering under "the chill shadow of a robot-planned and robot-managed age, the age of input-output approach to economics...
...adder and multiplier were largely the work of Charles Coolidge. Marshall Kinkaid was mainly responsible for the over-all design of the sequencing circuits. The input and output circuits were constructed by Richard Hofheimer...
...Transistor is a slim metal cylinder about an inch long. Inside are two hair-thin wires whose points press, two-thousandths of an inch apart, on a pinhead of germanium. A feeble current in the "input" wire controls a much larger current flowing from the "output" wire. Such "amplification" is the essential property of vacuum tubes. The Transistor works on a different principle (by changing the conductivity of the germanium), but it amplifies the input current as much as 100 times...
Transradio, the press association of the air, is directed by ex-U. P. Man Herbert Samuel Moore from offices aptly located in a lofty Manhattan penthouse. There a staff of 40 work in three shifts, putting in terse, readable paragraphs the input of some 7,500 correspondents located all over the world. The result, 50,000 words a day, goes out by teletype to some 250 radio stations from Manila to Mozambique, to 40-odd newspapers from Alaska to London, and over short-wave to ships at sea, including J. P. Morgan's Corsair whenever she puts out. Acclaimed...
