Though the Belfast doctors make a fetish of avoiding "haste or fuss," the patient is soon on his way to the hospital in the mobile unit, with his heart monitored all the way.

The unit has proved so effective that in its first 15 months of operation not one of the 312 heart patients taken to the Royal Victoria has died in transit.

Engineering Professor Gerald Estrin and a colleague, Dr. Bertram Bussell, have set up Project SEE (for Systems Efficiency Expert) and contracted with the Defense Department to monitor a 19-unit, nationwide computer network. Spying for SEE will be a $500,000 Sigma 7 computer, which will examine such computer problems as: how well computers translate instructions into their own language, how organized they are in storing similar bits of information close to one another, how often they unnecessarily repeat themselves in solving...

Died. General Walter Krueger, 86, commander of the U.S. Sixth Army in World War II (TIME cover, Jan. 29, 1945), a dour, supremely organized tactician who enlisted as a 17-year-old private in the Spanish-American War and commanded every size military unit, from squad to army, in his rise to full general, capping his career with 15 amphibious landings that pushed the Japanese back across the Pacific from New Guinea to the Philippines; of pneumonia; in Valley Forge...
