Like some human beings, computers often get tongue-tied because they think faster than they can talk. A digital computer, for example, can produce answers at 62,500 characters per second, but no printing machine has even come close to keeping pace; the computers that turn out data on space shots often are held up for a day or two because their data cannot be recorded fast enough. Now a new ultrahigh-speed printer has been developed that can print as fast as a computer can produce its thoughts. It is so fast, in fact, that it can print...
...high-speed printer sells for $350,000 to $500,000. First one to go into use is scheduled to begin operation next month at the University of California's nuclear research laboratory, where it will print computers' thoughts about thermonuclear research. Radiation hopes to make two or three of the printers a year at first, eventually hopes that the machine will win acceptance for commercial use. In its present form, it would not be used to print newspapers or magazines, since electrosensitive paper is prohibitively expensive and the quality of the result is not nearly as good...
...filming was done last fall. The Russians were unbelievably cooperative and cordial, for amazingly enough, the Cuban crisis was going on at the time. Later, they cooled. When NBC sent an advance print to Moscow, the Soviets sent back quibble-headed rockets. How dare NBC say that Western influences had helped shape the new Palace of Congresses?

And the lyrics of the choral singing, griped the Russians, could be translated to mean "Long live...
...affair was organized by a pair of ideologues who chew one another up in print but are friends anyway-Murray Kempton, onetime New York Post columnist who now ventilates his views in the left-wing New Republic, and William F. Buckley Jr.. editor of the right-wing National Review. After King Features Syndicate sacked Pegler last summer for calling Boss William Randolph Hearst Jr. a "spoiled brat," the two set up the dinner and invited some of the irascible columnist's friends and former colleagues "to tell Peg that we like...
...presses still run at Plantin's establishment in Antwerp, but only to print souvenirs for tourists or the scrolls for such honorary citizens of Antwerp as General Anthony C. McAuliffe, Viscount Montgomery and Sir Winston Churchill. The house is now a museum, filled not only with the tools of the trade (15,000 type matrices and 5,000 punches, mostly from the 16th century), but also with more than 18,000 drawings, woodcuts and copperplate engravings used for illustrations. Though it is the best collection of its kind, it has been shown outside Antwerp only twice-in Belgrade...
