They are also beginning to make measurements of radon in wells and electrical resistance in rock. Some of the data are already being fed into the USGS's central station at Menlo Park. But analysis is still being delayed by lack of adequate computer facilities...
...warning did nothing to settle the doctors' complaints. New York's major malpractice insurer, the Argonaut Insurance Co. of Menlo Park, Calif., which has raised its premiums by a total of 200% in the past year, is leaving the state entirely on July 1.

Although the dot's gyrations were directed by a computer, the machine was only carrying out the orders of the test subject. She, in turn, did nothing more than think about what the dot's movements should...
