...Bell Labs gave the world the transistor, for which three of its scientists won the 1956 Nobel Prize in physics. It also developed the laser, high-fidelity phonograph records, stereo and sound movies. In 1927, Bell Labs demonstrated the first long-distance, live, television transmission over wires. One of its early computers helped direct antiaircraft fire during World War II and knocked down 76% of Nazi buzz bombs in areas it defended in England. Bell scientists pioneered work in semiconductors, integrated circuits and microchips, all necessary parts of the computer explosion. They have now won a total of seven Nobel...
...firm called Acti-Vision makes $23 cartridges that fit Atari's console, and will soon make them for Intellivision. Acti-Vision's Laser Blast is a good fast-reflex game in which the player himself is the space invader. Its Tennis has a couple of good illusions?the ball bounces realistically on the court?but no effective simulation of hitting the ball, and no distinction between serves and ground strokes. Like too many cartridges for all three systems, Tennis is likely to be played twice and forgotten...
...everything in the books becomes an automatic hit. Chicago Mail Order Merchant Joseph Sugarman found few buyers for his $ 1,500 laser-beam mousetrap. But for products that do not sell out, there is always Grand Finale, a discount catalogue that specializes in marketing goods left over from other catalogues...
WHEN THE NOBEL prizes were announced in October, the celebrations were especially spirited in a small yellow frame-house on Mt. Auburn St. Nicolaas Bloembergen, the Harvard laser expert who shared the physics prize, was on hand; so was David Hubel, the Medical School professor who shared the prize in medicine and physiology. From New Haven came James Tobin, the laureate in economics; and from Ithaca, Cornell professor Roald Hoffmann, who shared the chemistry prize, sent regrets. Finally, Paul Samuelson, the 1970 Nobel laureate in economics, dropped by from MIT for the festivities...
...chock full of tunes and was played to win. You're Never Alone With a Schizophrenic was melodic, introspective, and fun. Now Hunter has returned to his homeland, hooking up with half the Clash, and the production hand of Mick Jones has added the 'Clash sound' to Hunter's--laser gun synthesizers, up-front guitars with a wall of various whatevers always in the bacgrould. The results are mixed. Somethines Jones pulls up an average song, like the horn-sectioned ditty-turned-anthem "I Need Your Love" or the off-beat, off-key "Lisa Likes Rock and Roll". Other times...
