...borrowed from the Army's wartime programs, Harvard lagged behind. It was not until 1959 that Boylston Hall was renovated and turned over to the language departments. The latest in laboratory methods was installed, including 30 listening booths and a console that can play six separate programs simultaneously, and monitor any or all booths at once. A huge library of tapes, a lab director and assistant, and six employees completed the laboratory...
...understanding of mind and behavior." Gross analysis is useful, he believes, because "Only at the social level, most likely, can the many isolated models of diverse social phenomena be related and integrated into coherent social theory." Schuster agrees, but only because he cannot imagine any systematic way to monitor the environmental inputs which induce neurophysiological response. "If we know physiology," he says, "but do not know specific inputs, we know how a subject learns a response in general; with behavioral science we can-know how the organism has acquired each and every specific response." The disagreement, then, is not about...
...view of Convention Delegate William A. Haugsted of El Monte, Calif., who led a spirited floor fight against the resolution: "The Chamber is veering away from the principles it has long believed in. The world is not ready for this yet." But Christian Science Monitor Editor in Chief Erwin Canham, who is a past president of the Chamber, expressed the majority's overriding view. American businessmen, he explained, have a greater stake than ever before in world trade, and are increasingly coming around to the idea that "progress in the direction of a world law system is sound...
...radiation detector station in Turkey, where giant radar scanners monitor nuclear-bomb activities inside the Soviet Union by rotating full circle every 90 seconds, a computer began to chatter every time the dish passed an azimuth heading of 270°. This area, almost completely opposite in direction from Russia, showed up on maps as the desolate valley of the River Jordan in Palestine. At length, when the scanner was again approaching this heading, the puzzled controllers pushed the computer's "speak" button. Reels whirled, relays clicked, and the message came pounding out: NO, NEGATIVE, THERE IS NO BOMB...
Computers have helped scientists to discover more than 100 new subatomic particles, and are busy analyzing strange radio signals from outer space. Biochemists have used the computer to delve into the hitherto unassailable secrets of the human cell, and hospitals have begun to use it to monitor the condition of patients. Computers now read electrocardiograms faster and more accurately than a jury of physicians. The Los Angeles police department plans to use computers to keep a collection of useful details about crimes and an electronic rogue's gallery of known criminals. And in a growing number of schools, computers...
