Some of Tichauer's troubleshooting solutions involve not tools but a basic understanding of the body's internal machinery. At one factory where workers were complaining of headaches, Tichauer traced the cause to the machines they operated, which were transmitting vibrations of 18 cycles a second. After adoption of his proposal to base the machines on a cushion of neoprene, the vibrations and the headaches disappeared. At another plant, he reduced a near-epidemic of severe chest pains by raising the workers' chairs and modifying the seating angle. Much too low in relation to the work level...
...Second Generation. Not even the most enthusiastic supporters of the Pill in its present form believe that it is the ideal contraceptive. In addition to its side effects, it has the disadvantage of requiring close calendar watching. Researchers are working strenuously to produce a morning-after pill, a one-a-month pill or a once-a-year injection to achieve the same result with greater certainty and less fuss. What may well be the second generation of oral contraceptives is already undergoing extensive tests...
...leaving motorists free to get out. Developed by Eaton, Yale & Towne Inc., the balloons would replace shoulder straps, which few motorists use any way (seat belts would still be needed for protection in rolling accidents). The Auto-Ceptor system works automatically: balloons inflate in one twenty-fifth of a second when the car's deceleration equals the rate that would occur on hitting a solid stone wall at 8 m.p.h. It is expected to cost about the same as belts and harnesses...
...Beechcraft took off from Iwo Jima, 775 miles south of Tokyo, and negatives were processed aboard. Another plane sped toward Iwo, received the photos by radio when the planes were 250 miles apart, then turned toward Hachijo Jima, 175 miles south of Tokyo. While still in the air, the second plane radioed the pictures to a ground station at Hachijo, which then transmitted them to Tokyo by undersea cable. No other evening paper pictured that historic event...

As controlling stockholder, Wolfson should have registered his shares first with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a requirement of which he pleaded ignorance. In addition to the one-year sentence, Wolfson drew a $100,000 fine. He is also appealing a second 18-month term (and a $32,000 fine), which resulted from his conviction last year for perjury and destruction of documents during a SEC investigation in connection with Merritt-Chapman stock transactions. Wolfson insists that he was made a scapegoat by the Government, while officials of brokerage firms have been...
