...sight of that morning's New York Times at the breakfast table. Each day during the Republican National Convention the Times sped across the continent through new facsimile equipment, using a TV microwave relay circuit. By getting out 20,000 daily free copies of a special, ten-page, adless edition, the Times demonstrated that, technically at least, a truly national U.S. newspaper is within reach...
...Whirling Drums. The transmissions began at 4 a.m. E.D.T. from Manhattan when special page proofs of the Times's regular international edition* were placed on a revolving drum. At the same time, in a small Market Street office in San Francisco, another revolving drum bearing page-sized photographic film was made ready to roll. As the drums spun in unison 1,500 times a minute, electronic equipment carried impulses along the transcontinental circuit and converted them back into light, forming an image of the page on the film. A four-man technical crew supervised by Timesman E. Clifton Daniel...
...similar long-distance experiment in 1945, when it used A.P. Wirephoto apparatus to transmit an edition to San Francisco for two months during the United Nations Charter conference.

Last week on equipment of its own subsidiary, the Times Facsimile Corporation, the Times's transmission produced an image four times as detailed.

...breaking, TV was in a class of its own. By the same token, for those who could not spend hours before a TV screen or who wanted the story rounded up and interpreted, readable at their own pace and convenience (and available for future reference), the printed page was worth a thousand TV pictures...

He flew to Ireland, looked over the 30 page, 2 ft.-by-3 ft. parchment deed written in Latin during the reign of Charles I (1625-49). Then, after pledging that he would maintain the rustic tradition of Killarney and continue to permit the public to enjoy the property, Robertson paid a reported $252,000 to become owner of 14th century Ross Castle, the ancient Abbey of Saint Finian...
