...detectives braced his legs, Milwaukee Sentinel Photographer James G. Conklin, 40, leaned perilously out over the narrow building ledge and aimed his camera at the ground, seven stories below. Magnified by the camera's 300-mm. telescopic lens, the subject loomed sharp and clear. Conklin set his motorized shutter, and his camera caught twelve pictures of a thief in the act (see cuts...
...Alaska, Point Mugu, Calif., and Wallops Island, Va. By the time the views from space were forwarded to the world's meteorologists by radio facsimile, they were often too late to help in the forecasts of local weather. But Tiros VIII carries a new type TV camera; its shutter opens for three-thousandths of a second, forming a photoelectric picture of about 1,000,000 square miles of earth. Instead of fading almost instantly like an ordinary TV picture, the shot lasts for 200 seconds while a scanning device "reads" it slowly, then transmits it promptly by radio. When...
...Polaroid people are convinced that only a truly skilled bungler will be able to ruin a picture with the new Automatic 100 Land Camera.

The film - either color or black and white - comes in a flat pack that slides into the camera with no threading necessary; and the 31-in. by 41-in. pictures are developed and printed by means of a chemical process built into the film...

Wherever light hits the film, the plastic it strikes becomes electrically conductive; the positive and negative charges flow together at that point and cancel each other out. Where no light strikes, the opposite charges remain in place, still pulling toward each other like opposite poles of a magnet...
...presumably unphotogenic après-ski togs, was confronted outside the Smugglers' Den lounge by Roving Photographer Philip N. Lawson of the Vermont Sunday News. Elections over, the Senator declined to have his picture taken with a roving beauty queen, but Lawson clicked anyway. Bugged by the shutter. Teddy reddened, and the incident swiftly snowballed. Sunday News Publisher William Loeb, a New England Republican long immunized to the Kennedy magic, citing Lawson's confiscated film and torn camera case, said Teddy should apologize. The Senator, down in Washington presumably busy doing More for Massachusetts, said nothing...
