...ring, slightly less than an inch in diameter, made of stainless-steel spring, under study since 1949 by Dr. Herbert H. Hall of New York Medical College...
...substantial section of it will be set aside for an expressway to link downtown with the major expressways leading out of the city. The long neglected riverfront has been cleared for the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park; scheduled for completion there next year is a soaring stainless-steel arch 630 ft. high, designed by the late Eero Saarinen as a monument to St. Louis as Gateway to the West. A seven-block pedestrian mall shaded by trees and flanked by lawns is abuilding. Ground has been broken for a 1,100-car parking garage, first step in construction...
...Chicago doctors have stopped bleeding from aneurysms (ballooned-out arteries) in the brain's arterial roundabout, the Circle of Willis, by drilling a hole in the patient's skull under a local anesthetic and inserting a stainless steel needle (see diagram). This has a hairlike electrode tip only 1/250 in. in diameter, which is positioned precisely by a double-grid system of X rays (see photos). The tip is the positive electrode for a minute current. The negative electrode is attached outside the skull. Within half an hour the iron in the electrode is "plated off" (in effect...
CONSAGRA AND FRIENDS-Odyssia, 41 East 57th. Five contemporary Italians wear the mantle of their rich sculptural heritage with distinction. Pietro Consagra, winner of the 1960 Venice Biennale's International Sculpture Award, carves "colloquies" in slabs of stainless steel and wood. Alberto Viani smoothes sweeping surfaces to an Arp-like elegance. Quinto Ghermandi coaxes bronze until it is as fragile as a leaf. Francesco Somaini, Best Foreign Sculptor in Sao Paulo's 1959 Bienal. makes magnificent metal meteorites both rugged and grand. Leoncillo bakes gres (a clay mixture) until his solder-colored shapes look as if they sprung...
...through the plane are details that cause cold shudders as well as admiration. Titanium and stainless steel skins are "sculptured" chemically, sometimes to a thinness of .007 in. to save ounces of weight. Electric motors run at a temperature that would bake a cake. Such novel techniques-and thousands more that have been used in the XB70A-are interesting but highly experimental. They will call for elaborate and repeated testing before the dangerous cobra can attempt its first high-speed flight, scheduled for this summer...
