Prefabs at $59. First model made in the U.S. was almost as big as a commercial laundry machine and cost up to $7,000. Dr. Kolff has now got it down to a stainless-steel tub 24 in. across, 17 in. high. Three-fourths of the artificial kidneys in U.S. use are of this type, made by the Travenol division of Baxter Laboratories. Cost: $1,300. Most important economy feature: instead of big moving parts that took hours to sterilize and set up, the core of the kidney now consists of a disposable unit of cellophane and plastic wire...
...weather. "With all these Larks around," said Studebaker-Packard's President Harold E. Churchill, "it's been like spring." Production of the Lark was up to 4,300 cars a week; total production for 1959 so far (61,000) was 12,000 ahead of the entire 1958 model year...
...third semester in such a natural sciences program could also be one of a number of offerings. A continuation of physics might go into basic electrostatics, electricity and the atomic model. Such a course would introduce the student to the implications of constructs as in field theory and raise questions of scientific truth, existence, and the ideas of operationalism. A basic chemistry option, or a semester which stressed the atom and the universe--ideas of astronomy, galactic origins, relativity--would also have value. In each of these courses, the subject matter would represent a compromise between the dilletante survey...
