...about 450 that went by Teletype or telephone to bureaus and reporters throughout the world last week. They ranged from Nation and Business inquiries about the economic situation to an Education request for a full report on a revolutionary computer teaching aid being developed in East Palo Alto...
Computerized teaching, long tested and talked about, goes into operation this week. More than 100 first-graders at East Palo Alto's predominantly Negro Brentwood School will begin learning math and reading from a good-humored, patient, quick-minded machine...
Slicing through the rolling countryside near Palo Alto, and flanked by newly planted oak and eucalyptus trees, the low, two-mile-long structure could easily be mistaken for a new link in California's growing network of freeways. Instead of automobiles, however, it will handle streams of speeding electrons. It is Stanford University's linear accelerator, the newest tool in one of the newest and fastest-growing disciplines of science, high-energy physics. When it achieves full power and goes into operation this fall, the largest atom smasher in the world will give man a closer look...
Each drug is designed to act upon a particular organ or upon particular tissues. But as Lieut. Colonel Robert H. Moser of the Army Medical Corps told a Palo Alto, Calif., symposium on "Diseases of Medical Progress": "We are inclined to forget that the drug is also in contact with other tissues.

Three weeks later, when the little sub finally located the missing bomb-2,500 feet below the surface, still shrouded in its parachute and perched precariously on a 70° slope-it was 1,200 yards from the final coordinates calculated in a laboratory over 5,000 miles away...
