Paper printed with the audible ink can be overprinted, creased or crumpled without affecting the sound. The process is readily adaptable to high-speed rotary presses-an asset not lost on Asahi Shimbun, the Tokyo daily of 4,000,000 circulation, which also publishes Asahi Science Magazine. The three Tokyo printing companies already equipped to print recording on paper expect mass production to reduce the present 4½?-per-page cost to 2? or less. Main drawback: the stay-at-home subscriber must pay $417 for equipment that will buy him the dubious privilege of hearing his magazine or newspaper...

When they later did biopsies on nine of the 15 Papanicolaou "negatives," they found cancer in seven cases. This does not necessarily mean that the new method is more accurate. But it can definitely speed up cancer screening. At Walter Reed, cell-smear staining with acridine orange now takes twelve minutes, against half an hour with the Papanicolaou technique...
...could go. Van Allen began to take an interest in satellites. Since his White Sands days, he had kept an eye on U.S. rocketry. His association with the Navy had been long and pleasant, but he became an outspoken advocate of the Army's Jupiter-C, whose high-speed stages had been designed by Pickering's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "I made rather a pest of myself around Washington about Jupiter." he admits. But the Pentagon shunted Jupiter aside in favor of the Navy's Vanguard...
