...beginning there was Superman. Today, reproducing like oversexed mutants, there is a whole squadron of superduper do-gooders streaking across the TV screen. They are not only faster than a speeding bullet, but they can also do things like liquefy and multiply, or fell a foe with a laser-beam glance. The skies are guarded by Roger Ramjet, the seas by Marine Boy, the barnyard by Super Chicken. What they can't handle, Granite Man, Frogman, Coil Man, Spider Man, Liquid Man, Aquaman, Multi Man and Birdman can. Yet of all the offspring of TV's comic book...
...frozen people!"), Hope asked about the searchlight crew, pushed up to the outpost and performed a second show-for two lonely, grateful men. In 1963, just before his annual Christmas tour, Hope suffered a blood clot in his left eye. Doctors saved his sight with laser-beam surgery. While he was recuperating, his U.S.O. company went on without him to Ankara. Hope flew to Germany where an Air Force plane picked him up and ferried him to Turkey. "He looked like a sick man," says one of his assistants, "but when he walked on the stage, the roar that went...
...Stanford to help the U.S. learn how to detect enemy missile launches was used by Stanford Electrical Engineer Von R. Eshleman to bounce the first radar signals off the sun.* Classified research at Michigan helped Emmett N. Leith develop the new science of holography (see SCIENCE), which uses laser light to produce three-dimensional images with potential uses in art, television and industry. Says Leith: "The idea that you can close yourself off to these programs is pure ignorance...
Rapid Read-Out. From this point on, Metherell's technique closely parallels that of optical holography (TIME, March 18, 1966). The filmed pattern is illuminated from one side by light from a helium-neon laser device. The light is diffracted by the converted sound pattern into an image of the original object. Viewers standing on the opposite side of the film can then see a measurable, three-dimensional representation of the object that has been scanned. By reconstructing three such photographs taken with sounds of different frequencies, the scientists believe that they wil soon be able to make multicolored...
...years will bring $20 battery-run TV receivers, three-dimensional film, home computers, prisonless penology and electronic prying into the human brain. Less likely, though still possible, are the laboratory synthesis of fetuses (possibly human ones), robot athletes competing in the Olympic Games, thought control, programmed sleep and laser beams capable of boring tunnels, taking a portrait of the atom, and detecting enemy missiles within a tolerance of inches...
