Covering the vast, hostile, sealed-off country, as we have noted before in this space, is an exercise akin to wartime intelligence work. With only one North American correspondent (Canadian David Oancia) and a handful of Western reporters at work in China, it is necessary to monitor radio broadcasts, meticulously follow the Chinese press, interview diplomats and businessmen who have recently emerged from inside. Hong Kong is the main center for this activity, but other busy China-watching posts include Tokyo, Washington, London, Paris, Vienna, and the Communist capitals of Eastern Europe. The most startling sources of news...
...response to the demands of site, climate (no one has to step out of doors in a blizzard to change classrooms) and educational program. Andrews' design emphasizes efficiency. His 30 science labs, which seat 20 students each ("the number that can conveniently look at a reasonably priced TV monitor"), are proving ideal for nonscience classes as well, and are in use 85% of the school...
Generators & Computers. Through out the area, electric companies have bought oil-fueled "black start" generators to help reactivate giant turbines more quickly. Some companies are making plans to install computers programmed to monitor loads and correct "cascading" frequencies of the kind touched off by the Beck blowout. New York's Kennedy International Airport, whose runway lights vanished before the eyes of bewildered jet captains, has put in eight diesel generators that can kick on within twelve seconds...
...institute's research complex is staffed not only by ophthalmologists, but also by anatomists, physiologists, biochemists, pathologists and a microbiologist. It boasts three costly electron microscopes to permit research to concentrate on the ultrafine structure of the eye. All rooms have closed-circuit television for the staff to monitor patients' activities and check on their safety. Patients who have no useful vision will be able to entertain themselves with talking books and piped music via pillow speakers. For those with some vision, there is color TV in every room...
...arrived, it has been tailed by one or another of the snoopy Soviet trawlers. Equipped with sophisticated electronic gear, the Russian "skunks" (as they are pungently known in Navy parlance) keep a close watch on U.S. air operations, flash their information to beleaguered Hanoi, and do their best to monitor the radars and radios of American ships and planes. From time to time, they make a dash at the U.S. ships in hopes of scaring American skippers into violent evasive maneuvers that could result in a collision with one of the task force's screening destroyers...
