...M.I.T., Babson Boston University, Boston College, Tufts, and Northeastern. Three separate divisions will be run, with one boat from each college in each division. Captain Stookey, Prince, and Bello will skipper the Crimson entries. The triangle course in the basin is about one and a quarter miles long, and, weather permitting, can be covered in 25 minutes...
...season, and even out-of-state sportswriters know that when Wilkinson wails, he wins. So last week, after the Sooners outgained (360 yds. to 237 yds.) and outscored the Trojans (17-12), the experts were ready with their superlatives. "Magnificent," they wrote.

...these possibilities seem as far off as present technological advances did only a few years ago, but Litton is already working in many areas that could lead to them (the company is studying, for example, submarine cargo ships that could cruise serenely beneath the surface, ignoring the turbulent weather above).

So it is no longer science fiction, but science fact and economic fiction...
Litton is making plenty of other bets on the future. It is at least two years ahead of the field in making portable command and control systems that can be airlifted by helicopters to act as battlefield operations centers. It is working on a device to control the weather, on an electronic retrieval system for libraries, and on quick-cooking microwave ovens-Litton's first real consumer product-for the potentially big electronic-cooking field. Though Litton is now selling thousands of electronic and computer projects individually, it is quietly gearing up for a massive entry into complete electronic...
