...notable is the medical school (one prof: Dr. Spock, the famed pediatrician), where all subjects are correlated and taught together; every student is apprenticed to a family to learn the bedside manner. Western Reserve is biggest in science, has 450 research projects, spent $3,000,000 on a new lab just to lure two star biologists from Cornell. Also thriving: the school of library science, an automation-aimed academy specializing in the new arts of "information retrieval...
...Allen radiation belts, which silenced its predecessor after seven months of service. The new satellite's higher orbit, rising to 6,713 instead of 3,531 miles, makes it spend more time in the "slot" between the upper and lower belts, where the radiation is comparatively mild. Bell Lab scientists are careful not to predict how long Telstar II will operate without distress, but they are admittedly optimistic. Its curving course carries the satellite just high enough to bring it within range simultaneously of Andover and a station now under construction near Tokyo. If it holds out until...

...Moore was ready to publish The Metabolic Response to Surgery, a slim (156-page) volume, listing Margaret R. Ball, his chief lab technician, as coauthor. Despite its unimpressive size and its coldly scientific title, the book became a surgical landmark. And it was only a beginning. What Moore calls his "big blue book" appeared in 1959. Metabolic Care of the Surgical Patient, a six-pound omnibus of 1,011 pages, would be monument enough for most men; it is a basic and irreplaceable text for modern surgeons. But Moore is still enlarging the dimensions of his monument. W. B. Saunders...
...night last winter, the entire experiment was ready. The men on Wachusett turned on the diode and reported their action to Lincoln Lab by telephone. Standing on the lab roof, Physicist M. John Hudson pointed a snooperscope toward the mountain and immediately picked out the bright spot of light that marked the glowing diode. By telephone he told the men on the mountain to begin talking into a microphone and modulating the infrared beam. The response came clearly across the cold night air and was picked up by the lab-top receiver. "I'm starting now." Those words...
