...wounded that morning. Viv Squires, 45, was no marksman, had not hunted for ten years; he carried a .30-30 Winchester carbine-a deer rifle and hardly better than a peashooter, he kept thinking, against the 8-ft., 700-lb. grizzly. But 29-year-old Ken Scott, lean, muscular and a good shot, felt confident. He carried a more powerful .30-06 rifle, and he wanted the grizzly...
...aneurysm (ballooning blister) often develops on the muscular wall of the ventricle after a heart attack (estimated U.S. incidence: 25,000 to 200,000 cases a year). Famed Philadelphia Surgeon Charles P. Bailey believes that many such aneurysms can be greatly improved by surgery. By clamping off the blister sac, amputating it and stitching up the ventricle wall, his team got good results in seven out of eight cases-far better than the "dismal prospects with conservative management...
Injected Signals. "The logical extension of electroencephalographic research," said Schafer, "may result in the formation of another hybrid science, biocontrol. The biophysicist has measured and recorded the electrical activity of the central nervous system, and shown that neural [nerve] currents control many of our mental and muscular activities. The electronic-control scientist has taught us that minute electrical signals, properly amplified, may be used for the control of airplanes, guided missiles and machine tools...
...surgeon would equip each child with a socket mounted under the scalp and electrodes reaching selected areas of brain tissue. A year or two later, a miniature radio receiver and antenna would be plugged into the socket. From that time on, the child's sensory perceptions and muscular activity could be either modified or completely controlled by bioelectric signals radiated from state-controlled transmitters. The regular treatment for schizophrenia uses the same surgical techniques . . . The electrodes cause no discomfort, no damage to brain tissue and no interference with the functioning of the brain except when energized...
Snowbound at a rural bus stop, Marilyn continues her feeble efforts to escape. When fatherly Arthur O'Connell cannot put a snaffle on his coltish pal, the muscular bus driver (Robert Bray) finally takes Murray outside and gives him the larruping he has been asking for. The fight is the film's catalyst. From it, Murray learns that a man has not always "gotta right to the things he loves," while Marilyn discovers, to her surprise, that his ear-splitting exuberance is just a protective screen around a small...
