...generators--similar to those now used in Radcliffe Quad--would switch on emergency lights at the beginning of a blackout. "They've been under consideration for several weeks. I expect the power failure will trigger action very soon." William Murphy, engineering manager for the Department of Buildings and Grounds, said Wednesday...
...bitch"), including one that indicated premeditation ("I first planned to kill him at the Friday night press conference"). All of which Belli was forced to explain as "confabulation," by which he meant that the statements were Ruby's effort to rationalize his alleged blackout when he pulled the trigger. Already skeptical, the jury was singularly unimpressed when Belli displayed yards of inscrutable electroencephalograms purporting to show the organic brain damage that caused Ruby's epileptic seizure...
...drop-off in acceptances will probably not trigger any drastic revision of the ten-year-old program. "I am basically pleased with what has happened," Wilcox said. "I think it is the result of careful, sensible educational judgement." Wilcox said the program had stabilized, but he felt there should still be a way for a student at Harvard to "get directly to hid field of study...
Anything electric can be plugged into Sonuswitch. All one has to do to turn it on or off is to clap his hands twice, quickly and sharply. The claps trigger the switch-and presto! Or a dog whistle, provided with the $40 switch, can be blown twice. For Sonuswitch is trained to respond only to 14-kilocycle signals that occur twice in the space of half a second. A constant signal will not do it, and the company, which is primarily an acoustical research and development firm, claims that few stray sounds will accidentally trigger...
...these hypotheses have been substantially proved for bacteria, and there is convincing evidence of the existence of "messenger RNA" in mammalian cells. As a result, there is a great temptation to extrapolate all the way from microbe to man and assume that long-dormant viruses may belatedly trigger cancerous changes in human cells. The evidence for this, so far, is extremely tenuous. But the Nobel Prize committee, which has sometimes been as much as 30 years late in recognizing achievement, has now reached toward the future in making its 1965 award...
