...ultracold for 150 patients to "re-glue" the retina to the back of the eye ball after it has become detached (for reasons unknown), a condition that may quickly lead to blindness. By one of science's quirks, another recent treatment for retinal detachment involved use of the laser beam to produce a pinpoint of tremendous heat...
...spas or hideouts are only sofascinating. By the end, no one really gives a damn whether the whole town of Fort Knox is gassed to death or whether Goldfinger does finally break the bank. Will the scene be more spectacular than the gilded ladies, golden Rolls-Royces, and pernicious laser rays which preceded it?

"One seems to be able to do almost anything," said Townes, who invented the laser and the maser. "We must not let space and other scientific exploration be limited by lack of foresight...
...Quest is this season's new animated series from Hanna-Barbera, producers of The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and Yogi Bear.

The red beams slice the trees and they topple. The great mother machine now takes over, moving forward to eat the trees and all the undergrowth, meanwhile extruding four-lane highways from its distant rear. Dazzling cities spring up out of the bush to either side...
