Profits in Bottles. Some projects were agreed on in short order. One notable example: a syndicate to finance a $9,000,000 pulp-and-paper mill in Pernambuco, Brazil, set up by Norbert A. McKenna, partner in Wall Street's Reynolds & Co., and Roberto de Oliveira Campos, representing Brazil's National Economic Development Bank. And for some doubters, some of the best evidence of the opportunities for foreign investments comes from U.S. and Canadian businessmen who were stationed or have traveled abroad. Among the most persuasive...
Never before has the U.S. scientist been so important to government and industry. But does that mean he never had it so good? Last week at Indiana's Wabash College, Norbert (Cybernetics) Wiener, professor of mathematics at M.I.T., flatly answered no. Politics aside, said he, the role the scientist now plays can seriously endanger his intellectual health...

In 1948 Bell Mathematician Claude Shannon, projecting earlier studies by Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Norbert Wiener, published Communication Theory, a complex mathematical scheme for measuring information content in communications, as well as evaluating the performance of systems that transmit words and pictures. The theory opened new horizons in telephone and TV transmission, has already found its way into the Air Force's Distant Early...
