...Wisconsin's Space Science and Engineering Center has taken the process used to improve the quality of television pictures from the moon and applied it to X-ray photography. The researchers place a conventional X-ray picture in a facsimile transceiver similar to the machine used to transmit wirephotos; there it is "read" by a photoelectric cell and the information fed into a computer programmed to eliminate "noise," or distortion, from the picture. The process sharpens contrasts and emphasizes fine lines, permitting detection of defects that would otherwise go unobserved. The "computer enhancement" process has begun...
...with a big smile because he knew when we left the table that the Father had already heard the prayers." Mrs. Klug's locutions, be they from St. Joseph, St. Augustine, St. Anthony, St. Mary Magdalene or the Father himself, are not always pious anecdotes. Often they transmit warnings against the demons of these latter days: sex education in the schools, recalcitrant youth and satan cults...
...Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Russia's greatest living writer, has been prevented from delivering the lecture that Nobel prizewinners customarily give. In 1970, when he won the award, Soviet officials forbade him to travel to Sweden for the solemn ceremony. Gunnar Jarring, Sweden's ambassador to Moscow, refused to transmit Solzhenitsyn's manuscript to Stockholm by diplomatic pouch. Last week the long-awaited lecture finally appeared in the yearbook of the Nobel Foundation, which did not disclose how it had been obtained...
...Medical authorites generally blame poor sanitation, blood transfusions and drug addicts' needles for the spread of serum hepatitis, a debilitating and sometimes fatal liver disease. Now it appears that the mosquito might also transmit the ailment. Studies by Rutgers University, the New York Blood Center and the New Jersey Medical School concentrated on tropical mosquitoes. After drawing blood from a person known to be a chronic carrier of hepatitis, the laboratory-raised insects retained the virus for three days and presumably could have transmitted the infection if allowed to attack another victim. The researchers know of no hepatitis cases...
...last of the great artists, heir to Vermeer and Velásquez. The baroque costume jewelry, the monarchist-Catholic oratory, the worn stock of crutches and soft watches-all have dust on them. Even the trembling antennas of that fabled mustache have apparently ceased to receive or transmit anything...
