...spacious stage, fine lighting and colorful costumes he seems to have taken care to crowd bodies in small spaces and to compose lopsided stage pictures. In lieu of pacing riot scenes--the court-room scene and Toad's return to Toad Hall -- Gage throws his entire cast together for ten-second lumps of chaos, the quickest starting and fastest ending mob actions you've ever seen...
...TIME, Oct. 12, 1962). In the center is a 4½-acre park with a swimming pool, paddle-tennis courts, refreshment stands and palm trees. The 250-ft.-wide ski course runs beneath four towers that support an overhead steel cable, powered by a 74-h.p. diesel engine. At ten-second intervals it carries 77-ft. tow ropes past a carpeted dock, from which the skier launches himself to whoosh around the rectangular track at about 25 m.p.h. (for experts the speed can be upped to 38 m.p.h...

At the other end of the line, in an engineer ing laboratory at George Washington University, a receiver automatically switches on a tape recorder when the nurse's call comes in.

The recorded tape is fed into a desk-size computer developed for the PHS's Heart Disease Control Program. The computer "listens" to as much of the ten-second recording from each lead as it needs to get the pattern, and shows the patient's heart currents on an oscilloscope screen. It also reduces them to electrical impulses on a numbered scale that it stores in its memory...
