...story behind the new look at the electrocardiogram [May 13] is the story of the men who developed the device that made the new look possible-Norman J. Holter and William Glasscock. Jeff Holter was a wartime Navy scientist who returned to his home town of Helena, Mont., to take up the family business, but managed to carry on his lifelong interest in biophysics in a laboratory in an abandoned passenger station of the Great Northern Railway. To work with him, he hired another Montana native, Bill Glasscock, who had just finished his training in physics at Montana State College...
...Doctors, as human beings, fall somewhat short of being perfect in the handling of each of the ever-increasing number of patients seeking their aid [May 13]. It is also painfully obvious that the astounding increase in technology has forced the physician into being somewhat more of a scientist than a holder of hands.

...even hide there any more, pal - at least not at the University of Pennsylvania. John McGinn, an old Penn coxswain and now a scientist in General Electric's laboratories at Valley Forge, Pa., has invented an electronic gizmo that enables Penn Coach Joseph Burk to tell at a glance in practice which of his oarsmen are pulling their weight - and which aren't. Attached to the oarlocks, miniature dynamometers measure the pull on each oar, flash the results on a board of 32 lights - four for each crewman. If all four lights flash on, the oarsman is exerting...
...scientist asked Piatigorsky how he liked his violin playing. The cellist hesitated. It was probably the first time that Teacher Piatigorsky was at a loss for ready analysis of someone's playing. But only momentarily. "Eh," he finally spluttered, "relatively well...
