Beginning soon, a wedding photographer carrying a $189 movie camera loaded with super 8-mm. film will be able to take sound motion pictures of the bride's arrival at church and have the movie ready to show at the reception. Films of football games will be developed quickly enough for a coach to deliver a motion-picture critique at half time. Amateur cinematographers may even be able to drop off film at a drugstore, take a fast coffee break, and then pick up the finished footage...
...people in Washington are more uncomfortable these days than House Speaker Carl Bert Albert, the "Little Giant" from Bug Tussle, Okla.

Messing somehow insinuated himself into that small crowd, plucked the ball out of the air, and then landed without having touched one of the opposition...
...disc drives and other "peripheral" computer components based on secret IBM designs. In his earlier finding that Telex had gained the designs by hiring away IBM employees, he had ordered Telex to pay $21.9 million in damages to its giant rival. Last week he further granted IBM's motion for a reduction-by an as yet undetermined amount-of the $352.5 million judgment against...
