Newspapers got wind of what was up, and the storm was on. CALL SECRET MEET AS FALLOUT PERILS L.A.. cried Hearst's Los Angeles Herald & Express. ATOM FALLOUT RISE HERE SETS OFF PANIC. cried the Chandler Mirror-News.Switchboards lit up as anxious residents phoned city officials, newspaper offices. TV studios. Scientists passed out the word. "No danger to anyone.'' said U.C.L.A.'s Nuclear Medicine Expert Dr. Thomas Hennessey. "I don't think the public's mind should be relieved." said U.S.C.'s Biochemistry Professor Dr. Paul Saltman. And when AEC said later that...

Last week CBS decided that while it still liked Keep Talking, it could not afford to keep paying...
...secret of Elox's success is its complicated electronic controls (using hundreds of condenser tubes) and its ability to tackle new projects. Larkins has kept the company small and flexible by making only the controls, subcontracting the work of making the machines to other companies. Some sell for as little as $8,500, range as high as $200,000. Larkins is constantly taking on new jobs. When the Portland (Me.) Copper & Tank Works needed a machine that would rapidly drill 160 evenly spaced holes in different parts, yet assure their exact alignment in the afterburner of a General Electric...
