DENNY ZEITLIN is both a pianist and an M.D. in psychiatric training who likes to analyze his music ("I attempted to build layer upon layer of tension to generate an organic shape"). In Live at the Trident (Columbia), he plays standards and some pieces of his own in a wide variety of moods and forms. Although he pays allegiance to Ornette Coleman as the most significant jazzman of the decade, Zeitlin himself plays it much safer and at times seems to be simply entertaining at the cocktail hour...
While Gemini 4 orbited the earth, Astronauts Jim McDivitt and Ed White did not brush after every meal, but in stead chewed a new gum called Trident, which helps clean teeth by using enzymes to break down dirt and bacteria...
...Trident is a product of Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical Co., which is well into its own orbit in the new world of pharmaceuticals. Three months ago the company brought out an appetite-suppressing prescription drug, Pre-Sate, which has already taken a substantial bite of that $60 million-a-year market. This month it won five U.S. patents on a "Robot Chemist," a Rube-Goldberg-like device that automatically analyzes up to 120 samples per hour of anything from blood to industrial oil by mixing them with laboratory reagents, measuring the resulting chemical change, and recording the results on adding-machine...
British European Airways Trident Flight 343 approached London Airport one afternoon last week on a regular run from Paris. Captain Eric Poole sat in the cockpit, and the 80 passengers fastened their seat belts for the landing. The plane settled easily into the final approach and made a perfect touch down.

As the plane taxied off the run way, Captain Poole got on the intercom to give his unsuspecting passengers a bit of a jolt: "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "the approach to the runway and the touchdown have been made...
...computer-operated landing system aboard the Trident is called the Autoflare, developed by Smith's Aircraft Instruments and Hawker Siddeley Aviation. Autoflare takes over within 150 ft. of the ground (see diagram). The plane is brought down the glide path toward the runway on radio beams from standard instrument landing equipment on the ground. From 150 ft. to 65 ft., twin computers aboard take control, directing the descent with information they have memorized and stored during the preceding 15 sec. At 65 ft., radio altimeters on board switch in. Now they signal the computers, which then bring the plane...
