...wing attackman, contributed 12 assists on the Crimson's tour of the Southlands, but the ambidextrous junior still isn't hitting his prime target--crease attackman Lou Williams. Williams, held to three goals in as many games, collected 45 markers last year on the strength of Grady Watt's pin-point passing...
...garrulous space vehicles, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is turning to the small electronic timekeepers that Bulova Watch Co. developed for its Accutron wrist watches. To measure time, these timers use a transistor-controlled tuning fork that runs indefinitely on a tiny trickle ( eight-millionths of a watt) of electric power; a battery the size of a dime will keep one of them humming for a year. The whole apparatus weighs less than three ounces, and it can easily be set to turn off a satellite's transmitter after any desired time interval...
Remembering that radio waves diffract (bend) around obstructions, the IBM engineers calculated that they could twist their transmissions right over the top of mountains and other obstructions with out building repeater stations on top. They set up a weak, 15-watt transmitter 45 miles south of San Jose, Calif., on the other side of Loma Prieta, a 3,798-ft. peak in the Santa Cruz mountains. Then they pointed their transmitter's beam of 1,855-megacycle waves in the general direction of San Jose. When the beam was aimed too high, its waves shot off into space; when...
...Prayers to Allah. At the airport, Johnson was pale and apprehensive. But as Bashir materialized like a genie in the plane's door, he soon let his host know that there was nothing to dread.

...night visitor to the Leverett Courtyard is no longer blinded by 150 watt spotlights burning into the yellow curtains. No longer does he see the insipid bright and-dark checkerboard of old; the visitor of today is greeted by a varied pattern of bright, dark, and dim. If this pleases the visitor, he may be startled by the sight of peering, bleary-eyed Leverett Men emerging from the Towers...
