Whatever may be its "meaning," The Strange One is unquestionably something of a technical achievement. Garfein's direction is brilliant. With an acute sense of timing, he carefully constructs each scene to extract the greatest possible amount of tension from it; and although this is his first motion picture, his camera work, which makes extensive use of probing close-up shots, is that of an expert. Equally accomplished is the acting of Ben Gazzara, who in his first film makes De Paris into an intense and haunting, if not exactly lovable, figure...
...developed in Birmingham. Unlike the other processes, this one employs a solid carbon fuel instead of a reducing gas. ¶Arthur D. Little, Inc. (TIME, April 1) is developing its own process, using patents from the Esso Research & Engineering Co. It was petroleum scientists who first learned how to extract hydrogen cheaply from natural gas or petroleum, and also how to use gas pressures from below to smelt ore. This "fluidized bed" method of ore-handling is used by all direct-reduction processes except the R-N method. ¶Hydrocarbon Research. Inc. and Bethlehem Steel have developed and extensively tested...
...George Minot, William Murphy and George Whipple won the Nobel Prize for their discovery, proved on Brigham patients, that liver extract is effective against pernicious anemia. Other notable Brigham pioneering involved historic work with the artificial kidney, transplanting kidneys between identical twins, and removing both adrenal glands from certain cancer patients...
...extremely high pressure or whether Qum is one huge continuous field. If it is the field that Iranians-and some U.S. oilmen-believe it is, then it will take enormous amounts of cash and special know-how, more than the Iranians possess, to control the mighty gas pressures and extract the oil. In addition, a pipeline to get the oil to the Mediterranean coast would have to go over rugged mountains. Cost estimates for the pipeline alone run as high as half a billion dollars...
ATHABASKA OIL SANDS in Alberta, which have estimated reserves of 300 billion bbls. but have long defeated efforts to extract oil, will be developed by Canada's Royalite Oil Co., Ltd. Royalite will start building plant this spring to separate 20,000 bbls. of oil a day from sands with new centrifugal process, then add processing plant, town site for 1,400 people, and a 350-mile pipeline to Edmonton. Initial cost: $50 million...
