The occasion was "Patexpo '69," a show designed to match up 300 inventors of new products with the men who can market them. As the visitors saw, modern man's ingenuity has lately produced a gun that fires a net to enmesh would-be muggers, skis with wheels for schussing on dry land, a timer that rations children's television viewing, tongs that carry melons without bruising them, and a keyless electronic lock that opens when hidden pressure points are pushed...
