Moon Walker's agility derives from its stainless-steel tubular legs, which have hinged, almost human knees, and flat, hooflike feet with rippled soles to give them traction. The legs operate in pairs, one leg of each pair supporting the walker's weight while the other leg is in motion. They are moved by battery-operated electric motors and controlled by a four-way lever that is so sensitive a multiple-amputee child can operate it with his chin...
Even if the pill prevails, baby-food processors can prosper for a while on sheer weight of numbers, higher per-baby consumption and a parallel trend to convenience food. Pet Milk's "Infant Nurse" and Mead Johnson's "Nursette," both prebottled formulas in disposable containers, have been successful with younger mothers.

Gerber's five original varieties have grown to 130, including cherry vanilla pudding and Dutch apple dessert; the company estimates that today's baby eats 15 jars a week...
...University of Pennsylvania. John McGinn, an old Penn coxswain and now a scientist in General Electric's laboratories at Valley Forge, Pa., has invented an electronic gizmo that enables Penn Coach Joseph Burk to tell at a glance in practice which of his oarsmen are pulling their weight - and which aren't. Attached to the oarlocks, miniature dynamometers measure the pull on each oar, flash the results on a board of 32 lights - four for each crewman. If all four lights flash on, the oarsman is exerting 280 Ibs. of pressure. Three means 265 Ibs., two means...
Even if Lynch and Pardee come through with victories, the Crimson will be hard-pressed to win. Trey Burns rates the nod in the 880, and junior Wayne Anderson should sweep a mediocre field of Cadet sprinters, but Army completely dominates the weight events, and only a major upset by the likes of Jim Baker can prevent Warner from posting two wins...
...Wilson can perform the greatest service if Le can break up the Cadet's strength in the weight events. Sam Robinson can also help by garnering points in the sprints...
