...from being just another tranquilizer, the hormone brought out hostility and in some cases sexual drive in previously depressed patients, which helped the psychiatrists to pinpoint more precisely the emotional problems they faced. Because T3 may have temporarily disturbing as well as beneficial effects, Dr. Flach and colleagues see little place for its use outside a well-staffed psychiatric hospital. There, they believe, it shows great promise...
High-powered telescopic cameras soon to go into operation will pinpoint the flying satellite within a few feet of distance and a few milliseconds of time. Then its orbit can be tracked with enough precision to observe the effect of variations in the earth's gravitation. The satellite's radio signals (even without the key of the code) will be useful in studying the electrified layers in the upper atmosphere. Non-Russian scientists may even learn a little about the density of the air at orbit altitude, by clocking how fast the satellite loses energy...
Conerly's pinpoint passing and Agajanian's accurate kicking pushed the Giants into a steadily widening lead. Final score: 22-12. For the Giants, it was just as well. They had to win. Not since 1938 had a Giant team won the pro championship, been privileged to play against the college boys...
...speed them on their way. On their trail, Kelly and Barbara feud continuously over whose child is the culpable genius of the escape. At one point the young refugees, trapped amidst some NATO ground maneuvers, totally thwart the efforts of a pushbutton general (hammishly caricatured by Michael Redgrave) to pinpoint them, even outwit his dread Operation Meatloaf ("Not intended for use until the Red army is actually in Trafalgar Square"). Amusing except when it pleads ponderously for international understanding, The Happy Road eventually reunites everybody in Paris, hints that Gene and Barbara will henceforth travel on the family plan...
...enemy virus to 46 nations. In more than a dozen laboratories- including those of the U.S. Public Health Service and major American drug firms-virologists are at work, with techniques as fine and occult as those of cryptographers. Their purpose: to establish the virus' precise identity, pinpoint its strengths and weaknesses, prepare a defensive vaccine...
