...hour video tape cartridges and cassettes are now available with 180,000 frames, each of which can be screened individually or sequentially. If two pages of a book were photographed on each frame, 360,000 pages of printed information could be stored on a small, cheap cartridge...
...Ostensibly, CBS has fused a film cartridge and television monitor for purposes best rationalized by image resolution and the range of information already committed to available film. This is a flimsy excuse. The research time and money represented by EVR would have equally sufficed to develop and perfect a tape system subsuming EVR's picture resolution and information access while also having a record mode compatible with most TV cameras. Excepting time-choice, EVR does not alter the general complexion of television viewing....EVR is an extension of the CBS network, a tautological tool-not a tool for creating...

...sure, the "conversation" provided some news and a few insights: renewed emphasis on welfare reform, predictions of an expansionary budget, a candid admission that rerunning the San Jose "hostility" tape on Election Eve was a "mistake" (see THE NATION).

Rhine of Duke University, the noted expert on parapsychology, was asked recently to undertake some research for the Department of Defense, he agreed-but at the same time inquired why an 18-year-old study of his on the training of dogs to detect land mines had never been made public. Apparently, no one had bothered to declassify the material. A more pressing case of bureaucratic ineptitude involves the Atomic Energy Commission, which holds literally thousands...
