...middle years turned into an almost classic specimen of the mad scientist. The device was supposed to gather, in physical form, that life force which Freud called libido and which Reich called orgone, a coinage derived from "orgasm." The narrow box, simply constructed of wood and lined with sheet metal, offered cures for almost all the ills of civilization and of the body; it was also widely believed to act, for the person sitting inside it, as a powerful sex stimulant. Hundreds of people hopefully bought it before the U.S. Government declared the device a fraud in 1954 and jailed...
...touch, they stirred and swelled, breasts and bellies billowing. Women were plaster in his hands. Sculptures all, they are currently on exhibition at Los Angeles' County Museum of Art, part of the largest collection ever assembled of the late artist's works. A harem in stone and metal, they remind a world obsessed with Pop not to forget about...

Sperry Rand's defense engineers have produced a machine tool that is run by a computer, and Glendale's Electronic...

Restaurants and resthouses at every five-hundredth level...
Scientists are not sure what makes tin whiskers grow. They are slender crystals that seem to squirt out of the metal like toothpaste out of a tube. They grow fastest at 125° F., which is close to the temperature inside a home hi-fi set, but they grow well enough at average room temperature (70°), which is common in enclosed parts of spacecraft. Now a spacecraft with a faltering voice or an electronic brain that has become psychotic need not be given up for lost. Allowed a few days to grow, the little tin whiskers will make...
