There will be other foldees. Science fiction has never shot much of a ray into television, and this year's try-The Outer Limits (ABC)-is unlikely to start a new trend. Last week Donald Pleasence appeared as a professor who had a neurosurgical operation that harnessed the electricity in his brain, producing a ray-gun effect every time he looked at someone he didn't like. Plop, they fell dead of electrocution. During the show the screen danced and jumped with various antics of the cathode tube, intended to suggest "the mystery which reaches from the inner...
...born, California-raised Rudy Peterson hopes to hasten that day by moving the Bank of America further toward an automated time when it will handle everything from company payrolls to customers' milk bills.

THIRTEEN months before the 1964 U.S. presidential election, there is a bubbling ferment in political circles around the U.S. Who can win? Who's for-and against-whom? Which way is the trend moving? What will the issues be? While they are thinking and talking privately about these questions, political leaders-true to form at this stage of the game-are saying little in public about what they really think. To get at what is in the political minds, TIME set out three weeks ago on a reporting process that is uniquely suited to our kind of journalism...
