...sensitive and selective is the frog's-eye computer that human scientists have long tried to construct a duplicate. At a bionics* symposium sponsored by the Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base last week, Radio Corp. of America demonstrated a reasonable facsimile. RCA's artificial eye is a heavy box, 40 in. by 40 in., its end studded with 1,600 small light detectors that simulate the light-sensitive cells of a frog's retina. Behind the detectors are layers of electronic components that serve as frog nerve cells. They are interconnected in such...

Championship must have $200,000 to promote next month's heavyweight rematch between Sonny Liston and Floyd Patterson, but most of its proceeds from the first Liston-Patterson match were seized by the Internal Revenue Service.
