...England Telephone workmen have been installing lines in the two Houses since Friday, Lewis A. Law, associate director of the Science Center said. Phone lines will be hooked up to the five new terminals in each house by tomorrow or Friday, he added. A cut in the telephone line at Leverett House prevented hook-up earlier this week, Law said yesterday...
...Two years later, a lama in the National Assembly received a vision of a house with blue tiles, twisted drainpipes, and a spotted dog.

These ten terminals are the first of 40 the school ordered last year. Among the 30 terminals still undelivered are four more display terminals and two line print terminals destined for the two Houses, Law said. The rest will go to the Science Center terminal room, which already houses about 30 terminals...
