...advantages of EVR, which will be tried in British schools in 1969, are low cost and professional reproduction. Though home videotaping systems, which record and reproduce, are now available, they cost anywhere from $700 to $3,100. The first EVR play back units will be manufactured in Britain for $280, but one unit could be wired into many TV sets - thus serving every classroom in a school. The film will start at $21 to $52 per hour, but since it now takes only 30 seconds to make a duplicate of a 20-minute program, mass production in the U.S. could...
...annually for every American, said Dr. Morgan, and 90% of this comes from diagnostic X rays. At Oak Ridge, where nuclear physicists are so conscious of radiation hazards that they have done everything conceivable to reduce them, the skin exposure from a chest X ray is 10 mR. This low and relatively safe dose can be matched in any well-equipped, properly run X-ray department and it is achieved by qualified personnel in many of the better hospitals. But, said Dr. Morgan, the equipment and methods vary so widely, especially in doctors' private offices, that the exposures...

Not only in India, but also in U.S. low-income strata, 10% of women become pregnant again within seven months after a live birth, and 20% within a year. After a stillbirth or abortion, with no nursing to reduce fertility, the interval can drop to as little as three months...
...zeal, Geneen recognizes that prudence dictates a relatively low-keyed overseas operation. Because of foreign sensitivity to American business domination, for example, the company has kept its U.S. connections almost invisible; in Europe, only 61 of the company's 125,000 employees are American. To lubricate its contacts with foreign governments, ITT has lured onto its staff such prominent native sons as former U.N. Secretary-General Trygve...
...bunch of lorn boozers, motorcyclists who get their kicks by staging rape-ins and terrorizing towns. Even the police are afraid to touch the little-read riding hoods who swagger around California wearing swastikas and blaring "man," "cool" and "baby" in between crimes. As is only proper in a low-grade western, vigilante justice finally prevails when a rodeo-riding half-breed (Tom Laughlin) hunts them down and makes them cry into their beards...
