...standard academic path for an aspiring M.D. is four years of premedical schooling in an undergraduate college, then four years in medical school proper. By the time he graduates, he is already 25, with one year of internship still before him and an adequate income even more remote. Considering this heavy investment in both time and tuition costs, bright young high school students are increasingly attracted to the mushrooming physical sciences. There they can expect to get a higher degree in six or seven years and make good money in industry...
Kittenlike Proportions. After months of experimentation, a group led by North American Electronics Engineer Edward Flint devised a compact infrared sensor that can be mounted atop a plane. While scanning 45° to either side of the aircraft's flight path, the sensor can detect temperature variations as small as a fraction of a degree Fahrenheit in atmospheric carbon dioxide at a range of from 24 to 48 miles. These variations register on three side-by-side cockpit gauges that show the pilot whether a temperature gradient lies directly ahead or 45° to the left or right...
...hastening the demise of these communities. The Inner Belt, for example, will take a heavy toll in some areas. It will also have a big impact on low-income families: preliminary figures from the Cambridge Planning oBard show that 58 per cent of the families in the path of the highway earn under $6000 a year while about half of the single persons living along the route have an annual income of less than $3000. The forces of the housing market seem to be having a similar effect--pushing the poor out of their neighborhood...
...mind evolved, over the millennia, in much the same way that man climbed physically up from the primordial slime. The stages in this intellectual growth were clearly identified: the Old Stone Age, the New Stone Age, the Copper, Bronze and Iron Ages. Savage cultures unaccountably stranded well along the path of progress were conveniently classified as civilization's simple-minded dropouts, lingering and isolated echoes from mankind's distant past...
Against the backdrop of Paris, MacLaine plays everything from a bitchy bourgeoise to a nudist nymph. In one sequence, she is Paulette, grieving as she leads her husband's funeral cortege to the cemetery. Comforting her is Peter Sellers, who tries to cut a path through the widow's weeds by promising her the world. At last Paulette succumbs. When the mourners reach a fork in the road, she and Sellers peel off to the left as the scandalized funeral procession proceeds to the right...
