Falwell, 52, did not need to depend only on journalists to transmit his revelations. There would be opportunity later for a few comments on his Old Time Gospel Hour, and for a fuller report on Jerry Falwell Live, which is transmitted to 34 million homes on Ted Turner's WTBS cable-TV system each Sunday night...
...purchase price for years to come. Murdoch operates Sky Channel, a satellite station that supplies English- language programming to more than 1.6 million homes in Britain and Europe. He also owns two TV stations in Australia. Once Fox steps up production for its TV outlets, Murdoch in turn could transmit the new programs to his foreign viewers at relatively little cost. One small problem: Australia, like the U.S., has strict TV-licensing rules. If Murdoch does lose his Australian citizenship, he may be forced to relinquish control of his Sydney and Melbourne stations. That loss would still leave Murdoch with...
...that students could listen to a professor and immediately test their comprehension of the material by working through a series of questions and problems presented by an appropriate computer program. Science concentrators could simulate many laboratory experiments on computers without leaving their residence hall. Video technology could not only transmit lectures but bring the resources of the outside world to students in living color. For example, are history majors could use a videodisc linked with a computer to explore the great museums they chose for as long as they wished, and summon up text to explain the picture...
...spectacular," said Ellis Miner, Voyager's deputy project scientist. "What has remained unseen to this point is going to turn out even better." For as it swung past Uranus, Voyager took thousands of pictures and gathered reams of scientific data, accumulating information faster than its systems could process and transmit it toward the earth. The unsent information, stored on magnetic tape, was to be gradually beamed to J.P.L. over the next several days. In these transmissions, scientists expected to find, among other things, images of more tiny moons...
...complexes in California, Australia and Spain, and combined them electronically. Still, the combined signals were so weak that NASA engineers had to slow down the transmission rate so that information could be distinguished from normal radio background noise. As a result, it took Voyager at least four minutes to transmit a single picture. Then too, the images picked up by the spacecraft's cameras were extraordinarily dim; the sunlight reaching Uranus is only about 1/400th as intense as it is on earth. But computer...
