...Manhattan last week, stockholders strolling by a color cutaway diagram of the company's complex new automatic bread-baking machine were startled to see parts of the still picture seem to move. Before their surprised eyes the machine showed how it mixes bread dough, pops it into an oven, and shoots out golden-brown loaves. Shareholders at the giant American Telephone & Telegraph annual meeting in Chicago (see State of Business) were treated to another picture in which Echo satellites seemed to move across the sky bouncing radio waves back to earth in a display that explained the company...
...Jack Paar (28 appearances). Despite the cash struggle going on between Paar and Ed Sullivan, she performed last week on the Paar show, even though she is scheduled to tape a Sullivan show this week. Currently she is at Greenwich Village's Bon Soir, an underground cigarette oven so sophisticated, she claims, that "a nine-year-old boy came in here the other night, and when left...
Texans have often seemed to agree with the lawmaker who cried in 1856 that "universities are the ovens to heat up and hatch all manner of vice, immorality and crime." As though to cool the oven, Texans planted the main campus only a few blocks from the state capitol in Austin. Politicians have seldom left the faculty alone.

It was their notion that the university swarmed with "atheists," who must be Communists...
Through the hangar bay and in the compartments above the main deck Constellation became a giant bake oven. The racing flames, fed on a maze of wooden scaffolding and trash that littered the decks, ate hungrily through fire-resistant wiring insulation and paint. Rushing for safety, work crews found the companion-ways blocked by billowing smoke, retreated to airtight compartments (there are 3,000 in the ship), where they hammered on bulkheads in the hope of attracting help. One man was trapped for six hours before firemen found him. Some dropped from portholes into the icy East River, where they...
Looking Ahead. With more emphasis on basic research, the new products that lie just ahead promise marvels eclipsing even what the U.S. has accomplished since World War II. Within a year or two, electronic ovens may be available for every home. They will cook a steak in two minutes, a baked potato in four seconds, greaselessly so that the oven never needs cleaning. An ultrasonic breakthrough in the use of sound waves for cleaning promises dishwashing in minutes without water. Shoes and clothes may be whisked spotless ultrasonically as the wearer enters the house...
