...MINIATURES. Rollei-Werke has developed its first precision miniature camera for standard 35-mm. film, the Rollei 35, priced just under $125. Other tiny cameras have been on the market for years, but they sacrificed quality by using miniature film. The Rollei 35 is hardly bigger than a king-size pack of cigarettes, weighs 14 oz., comes with a built-in meter, a shutter speed up to 1/500th of a second, and a 40-mm. f3.5 Zeiss Tessar lens...
...precise measurement techniques learned by space-age scientists. Like protons, the furious but controllable forces of laser beams have already been used as exact surgical scalpels; at the National Institutes of Health, laser light is also being showered on cultures grown for only four hours in tiny, 2-mm. capillary tubes. The resulting scattered light can be read for presence of bacteria. Because the process is so highly accurate, the cultures do not have to be nourished for days until they grow large enough for the disease-causing microbes to be detectable. The careful placing and size of an electrical...
...chosen foothold was Gia Binh, a coastal village 300 yards south of the DMZ, and the Communists went to work with a fury. They laced Gia Binh with bunkers and tunnels, brought up mor tars, heavy machine guns and 57-mm...
...found on a stretcher at the hospital where Kennedy and Connally were taken; the commission decided that it had fallen out of Connally's superficial thigh wound onto his stretcher. The bullet offered sufficient grounds to make the single-bullet theory suspect. Experts reported that a 6.5-mm. slug such as Oswald used would normally weigh 160 or 161 grains when fired. Doctors had found roughly three grains of metal in Connally's wrist and thigh. But the spent bullet (labeled Exhibit 399) weighed a hefty 158.6 grains when examined-more than it should have, considering the amount...
...trying to decide whether to scrub the scheduled plan of lowering the spacecraft to within 28 miles of the lunar surface in order to photograph nine target areas where astronauts may some day walk (see diagram). At that height, the orbiter's high-resolution 600-mm. lens could shoot objects as small as a card table. At last they decided to go ahead, hoping that under different conditions of lunar orbit, the camera might well begin operating properly again...
