Last week Webb announced that Holmes's job will be taken over by Dr. George E. Mueller, 45, vice president for research and development of Los Angeles' Space Technology Laboratories, one of the U.S.'s biggest space-age contractors. Holmes's successor, says a NASA official, is "very quiet, very polite and no table thumper like Holmes." Both an electrical engineer and a physicist by training, Mueller (pronounced Miller) has done notable and imaginative work in electromagnetic theory, missile guidance systems, deep space communications, microwave research, space-systems engineering and space payload design. He helped develop...
...Larry Mueller, a research engineer at the Burroughs business machines company in Detroit, has a puppet at home named Mickey. His friend John Mayer, general manager of a small Detroit electronics firm, has a three-year-old son named David. Their homes are some miles apart, but on certain completely unpredictable emergency evenings, only Mickey can make David agree to go to bed.

There are about 200 of them scattered about, although most are concentrated in Detroit, Toledo and Columbus. These amateur NBCs even have their own trade journal, the Amateur TV Experimenter.

Larry Mueller once made visual contact with a fellow in Fort Recovery Ohio, 170 miles away...
...voting districts-was swift and often ahead of the competition. At 7:35 p.m., for instance, NBC had 25% of the Connecticut senatorial vote, while CBS had only 15% and ABC 8%. But the commentary of NBC's public-affairs stars, from Huntley and Brinkley to Merrill Mueller, Frank McGee, Sander Vanocur, John Chancellor et al., lacked yeast. Brinkley may have had something when he said that the computer was likely to replace them...
