Three times, Clay knocked Mildenberger down. Three times, Mildenberger got up. Clay opened cuts under both of Karl's eyes; with the blood dripping down his chest, the German fought on, stinging Cassius with solid lefts to the head. Try as he might, the champion could not put Mildenberger away; the referee stopped the fight in the twelfth and declared Cassius the winner by a technical knockout. Heaving a big sigh of relief, richer by $200,000, Champion Clay began preparing for yet another title defense, this time against Houston's Cleveland Williams-whom Sonny Liston once described...
...Solid, Seasoned Staff. Finding space for the columnists is one thing; filling the news hole is something else again. During the long strike, some of the Trib's best reporters found other work. The American Newspaper Guild's demand for strict seniority forced Conniff to dump some promising youngsters and keep some tired old hands. "We have a solid, seasoned staff," he says when what he means is that the paper is stuck with 40 reporters who are 60 or older. In the confusion of matching personnel demands, Conniff ended up with six more copyreaders than he needs...
These tiny devices-called integrated circuits because their components are built as inseparable parts of one solid chip-are already displacing the transistor as the glamour product of the electronics industry (see following color pages). First developed in 1958 by Texas Instruments Engineer Jack Kilby while he was tinkering in the laboratory during a hot summer vacation, integrated circuits (or ICs) did not become generally available until 1962, when design improvements and refinement of production techniques allowed electronics companies to turn out some 60,000 a year. In 1966, the industry will produce 35 million ICs worth $150 million...
...requiring hundreds of thousands, and even millions of separate components and interconnections, it became increasingly probable that at any given time they could be disabled by a single faulty part or connection. By the use of pretested ICs, each with scores of virtually indestructible components permanently connected within a solid chip, the probability of failure has been reduced...
...Rockets. Fortunately for the amateurs, the hobby costs little more than their labor. Factory-built rocket kits sell from $1.25 to $15. One-shot solid propellant engines, the largest of which can sustain thrust for two seconds, are available for as little as 25?. With prices like that and the pastime booming, amateur rocketry has become a small big business: Estes Industries of Penrose, Colo., the largest of five manufacturers in the field, alone grosses about $1,300,000 a year. The present N.A.R. meet will make none of them the poorer; by the time the week was over, some...
