...Space Laser Fight, Boxing and Football, all designed by a Japanese firm called Bambino, have the cleverest electronic displays on the market this year. In the football game, two teams, their lighted figures clearly seen as if from above, pass, kick and evade tacklers on a field that measures about 1 in. by 3 in. In Space Laser Fight, as in Boxing, two tiny figures -moving pictographs about ¾ in. high that can crouch, jump and do battle-face each other and fight. The miniaturization is astonishing.

Like MacDonald, Redpath blossoms in several key scenes, especially during his attack on George, which possesses a laser beam intensity...
...type. At the Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy we saw several impressive "clean rooms" under construction for the fabrication of "chips" containing the microscopic circuitry that is the brain of the modern computer. Some of these chips are being manufactured with new electron-beam techniques. Scientists are also experimenting with lasers. One intriguing project: a six-beam experimental laser device to produce power from thermonuclear fusion. Blessed with an abundance of the elements called rare earths, the Chinese are also becoming increasingly skilled at extracting them and putting them to work in many ways, for example, as catalysts in petroleum refining...
...center's 20 interclub dinghies, 15 Lark sloops, and 5 Laser single-handers.

The Lasers also are very tough but are more responsive to the elements and only can be sailed by one man. Finally, the hardest boat to sail, the Lark, has two sails and is Harvard's high-performance boat...
