...life. One was the demand for "relevance," another was the glorification of the "happening" ("anything was good as long as it expressed the real, now self"), and the third was "trashing," an ugly resort to violence. Brewster concluded that despite a residue of change, some of it beneficial, these "patent medicines" bred disillusionment and fostered a cult of unreason. Such attitudes left no room for a university's proper, enduring concern with truth and beauty as embodied in the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. The end result, argued Brewster, was "a yearning for structure, a sense...
...between his craving for attention and the cruelty of his mother, who dunked his head underwater or smothered him with a pillow to insure that her young "gimmick" memorized his allegedly God inspired sermons contentiously Rather, he insists that he resented his lather more although he actually hates neither patent because he suggests unconvincingly, he's doing his thing and they were doing theirs...
...animals, injecting some with an endotoxin, a bacterial substance that produces fever, and others with an endotoxin-caffeine combination. Those receiving both developed higher fevers than those injected with the endotoxin alone. The researchers then tried treating the animals with an aspirin-caffeine preparation similar to those sold as patent cold remedies. The combination did not reduce temperature at all. A follow-up study with human volunteers confirmed the animal experiments. When 35 students received typhoid vaccinations, which produce a mild infection and fever, those who were given caffeine had higher temperatures than those who were...
...Chairman T. Vincent Learson will not talk about the company's copier program, but IBM's chief problem in getting a computer-copier system on the market seems to be neither financial nor technical but legal. Xerox has built a fence of patents and copyrights around its duplicating technology, and already is suing IBM for alleged patent infringement. Conceivably it can tie IBM in legal knots until its own technicians perfect a computer-copier system-though no one can be too sure who remembers the long line of corporate giants that have lost competitive battles with...
...profits. Except for General Motors, which in 1970 bought a license to make Wankels in a deal that will eventually cost it $50 million, any manufacturer who decides to build a rotary engine will presumably have to pay royalties to Curtiss-Wright Corp., which owns North American patent rights to the design. Largely on the strength of that asset, Curtiss-Wright stock shot up from 1 ⅜ to 59 ¼ earlier this year, though it has settled back in recent weeks to around 45. Officers of machine tool firms are hoping to produce assembly-line equipment for what could...
