...light flashed last week on a screen. But scientists of Bell Telephone Laboratories at Murray Hill. N.J. are sure their new gadget, called a maser. from which the light came, will lead to astonishing things. The waves of red light moved exactly in step; other light is helter-skelter. The waves kept to the same razor-edged frequency; other light is a mixture of frequencies. They formed a slender pencil beam that hardly spread out at all.

To get his cards into the stores and keep them there, he set up a sales system that replaced the helter-skelter collection of boxes under the counter with a long display rack that put the selection out in the open. Hallmark sells the display racks to retailers at cost, also assumes responsibility for keeping the store's stock-both from Hallmark and from competitors-up-to-date, re-ordering when the cards...
