...portraits of the delegates, candidates, and hangers-on that are tenuously related to anything only by the banalities Duncan wrote to accompany his photos. These portraits are really little more than testimonials to the sharpness of a new lens, a prototype 400 mm. f/6.3 telephoto made by Ernst Leitz for the Mexico City Olympics. The lens really is fantastic; things are pretty bad, though, when the most praiseworthy thing about a series of photos is their sharpness...
DUNCAN GOT ALMOST as much material assistance from NBC. Nikon, and Leitz as Thien gets every month from Nixon. No corporation was able to give Duncan the one thing he needed more than any other-a good...
...professor of gynecology who was educated at Bonn and later taught there, sat down in 1924 to write about uterine cancer, he postulated that cancer in its first stages must produce ulcers or tumors too small to be seen by the naked eye. He worked with the Leitz optical firm to produce the first colposcope-essentially a pair of binoculars with a light source, mounted on a pedestal.

Died. Dr. Ernst Leitz, 85, bushy-browed boss (since 1920) of Germany's famed Leitz optical works (Leica cameras) and son of the founder; in Wetzlar, Germany. The Leitzes first introduced the Swiss watch industry's mass production technique to microscopy, later (1924) added the Leica as a sideline. But by 1930 the tail was wagging the dog, and miniature cameras and candid photography became a worldwide craze...
