...transmit detailed images along the same path? The problem has steadily resisted the best efforts of optical researchers. But now the University of Rochester's Indian-born Dr. Narinder Singh Kapany, 30, has succeeded by applying a technique he refers to as "fiber optics." With his new method, said Dr. Kapany last week, he has already designed a glass "gastroscope" which can be snaked down the throat for a detailed closeup view of the human stomach...
...possible to produce two identical random bundles by winding the fibers on a drum and cutting the coil in half, the receiver could be equipped with a "decoding" bundle. Linked into a television circuit, says Dr. Kapany, the bundles would provide a code unbreakable by any known cryptographic method...
...that they could not even agree on why they met. Egypt and Syria wanted all Arab states to act jointly against the French and British invaders. The Iraqis broke in to say that Israel was a more urgent problem than Suez. "The uprooting of Israel is the only practicable method to secure peace and order in the Middle East," said the Iraqis, arguing that as long as the Palestine question was left unsettled, the door to Soviet penetration stood wide in the Middle East...
This bold pioneering was based on years of study by San Francisco's Dr. Angelo May, using human cadavers to see whether the bottleneck material could be removed by a simple instrument, and then testing the method on live dogs to see how well they stood the operation. With encouraging answers to both questions, Dr. Bailey got a supply of May curettes: metal tubes, only one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, nine inches long, with a nick filed halfway through at one end. On Oct. 29 he was ready for his first patient...
...ethical dilemmas and moral betrayals involving the characters. James's canvas, his outward world of London and Venice, is large, populous, resplendent. James's characters, his inner world of sensibilities, perceptions, perturbations, are studied in depth and projected at full length. And James's method is-triumphantly if sometimes tediously-one of peculiar indirection...
