...financed, and protectively handled by the astute political PR firm of Whitaker & Baxter, Mrs. Black stands aloof from the men in her race, refusing to debate, shielding herself from interviews and making the rounds of teas and kaffeeklatsches reciting a script of prepared cliches. When someone cracks the simplistic pattern, her pleasant, natural naivete congeals into frigid, wary courtesy. Yet her aversion to pornography, big government, welfarism, crime, dope and Ho Chi Minh has thrust the gamut of national issues into the campaign along with such peninsular problems as high taxes, education and the noise from San Francisco...
...this comes the current pattern of dissent which disturbs _the President and many other Americans. For 185 years, perhaps no other country has given more legal protection to dissenters than the U.S. Every effort to repress dissent has, in the long run, brought an enlargement of the rights of free speech and press. Even in the most strained times, few intelligent Americans have attacked dissent as disloyalty. Given the U.S. proposition, no shade of opinion is unpatriotic-unless it advocates violence or overthrow of the Government. Unhappily, a few extreme dissenters tend toward that direction: that some assault the impregnable...
Like a giant moth attempting to break out of a cocoon, Soviet Communism is trying to rid itself of a doctrine conceived a century ago in a far different world. Though Lenin had to revise Marx to fit the Russian pattern, it was Nikita Khrushchev who launched the official decline of the doctrine. Faced with the necessity of solving countless economic and social problems, today's Soviet planners find such Marxist theories as class revolution and "the dictatorship of the proletariat" just plain nuisances. The Chinese are right, of course: the Russians are revisionists. In a very real sense...
...single frequency that are bounced off the subject and picked up by one or more scanning microphones. At the same time, a sound signal of the same frequency is transmitted directly to the microphones. The two tones-reflected and direct-interfere with each other in a complex sound pattern that is, in effect, an acoustical "picture" of the object being scanned. The mixed pattern of sound is transmitted as electrical en rgy from the microphones to an oscilloscope-similar to a television picture tube. The oscilloscope then converts the electrical energy into light patterns. A special polaroid camera records...
Rapid Read-Out. From this point on, Metherell's technique closely parallels that of optical holography (TIME, March 18, 1966). The filmed pattern is illuminated from one side by light from a helium-neon laser device. The light is diffracted by the converted sound pattern into an image of the original object. Viewers standing on the opposite side of the film can then see a measurable, three-dimensional representation of the object that has been scanned. By reconstructing three such photographs taken with sounds of different frequencies, the scientists believe that they wil soon be able to make multicolored...
