U.S. Publishers Vie
For Encyclopedia Sales
By FREDERICK II. TREESII
Uniletl Press International
NEW YORK (UPI) -With
Hie trend from "spoonfed"
teaching toward more indepen
dent study and research, pub
lishers of reference volumes
arc finding a booming market
in the American living room.
About 100 publishers are vy
ing for the U. S. encyclopedia
market, which last year totalled
$:i25 million and is expected to
increaso by 15 per cent this
year.
The potential customers arc
the parents of the 47 million
American children going to
school this year and the prime
market place Is the family par
lor where nearly 85 per cent of
all encyclopedia sales arc
made.
A mulll-volume reference set
Is a major investment and, as
such, it behooves Uie potential
buver to choose wisely. The
problem, Iho experts say. Is not
to find the one best book but
llin one that is best for the par
ticular student or educational
situation involved.
"No one set is right for ev
eryone," advises Dr. Lowell A.
Marl in, a former dean of the
Graduate ' School of library
wienro at Rutgers Univers
ity and now editorial director
for Giolier Inc.
In addition to price, Martin
said, the things a buyer should
consider am suitability of con
tent, the oulhoritativeness of the
writers, whether the volume in
cludes adequate index, study
guides and bibliographies and I day.
whether the publisher has a
built-in method of keeping the
set up to date.
On suitability of content, Mar
tin said some reference sets
are designed for younger read
ers including primary grade
students, others are tailored es
pecially for the high school and
college students and others arc
more detailed and scholarly to
appeal to the most thorough academician.
"All good encyclopedias arc
written by experts in special
subjects not by experts in
encyclopedia publishing, Mar
tin said. Authors of the sets his
own firm publishes (Encyclope
dia Americana and Encycloped
ia International) include more
than 4,(111(1 persons
"But we're kidding ourselves
if we think wo can put all
knowledge inlo a reference set"
Martin said. "There is no way
you could do that in 2(1 vol
umes or even 50 or 1(10.
"The point is lo include Iho
subject mailer most frequently
needed and prepare it in such
a way as lo encourage Iho rend
er to further examine the sub
ject."
lie enumerated sludv guides,
outlines of additional hooks on
Iho various subjects as effec
tive means of encouraging ad
ditional research.
soup is in front of him, piping
hot, as he walks through the
dining room. We have three
hungry children who expect to
eat when Daddv gets home, but
Daddy wants to turn the sched
ule upside-down ana su aown
when he's good and ready. At
that rate, when will my day
end?
Peter E. Imagine having a
devil of a day at work, then
battling traffic snarls all the
way home, only to be greeted
by hollering kids, and my wife
pushing a heavy dinner under
my nose! It's easy to see how
indigestion starts. If only Sarah
would feed the children and
give me a chance to unwind,
change my clothes, look at the
mail, we could have a pleasant
meal together later. I'd be glad
to help her finish up.
The Council: If Sarah can
have that last remark of Peter's
in writing (and notarized!) her
problem may dissolve. For
what's pushing her into pushing
him is she'd like a chance lo
unwind, too. She's counting on
those Golden Hours of after-the-kids-are-in-bed
and after - the-dishes-are-done.
But now her
choice is between more hours
with less gold that is, with a
grumpy husband glowering at
her or less hours with pure
gold Illuminating them. Picture
the latter alternative: Pete gets
home, beat, a mere shell of a
man! He slinks into his private
quarters, sheds his necktie, gets
into slippers. Maybe he even
stretches out, yawns, grabs 40
winks. Half-an-hour later, per
agreement, he enters the bosom
of his family, greets the kids
benignly, downs the meal they
and their motner nave ust
finished. Meanwhile Sarah "set
tles" them down, returns to have
her dessert and coffee with
Pete. Then, with that clause
above in effect, he'd see that
she was able to call it a day
a nol-much-longcr day than If
she'd been rigid about his din
ncr.

NEW YORK (UPI) - At a
data processing cenler on New
York's bustling Wall Street a
group of engineers stopped in
Iheir tracks.
Had one of their computers
busted a circuit?
From out of the mouth of the
electronic marvel came poetry
real beatnik stuff. To wit:
"Our bloomflaycd evilly
through ugly bodies
And water loomed evilly o'er
inhuman loves
Your dream blazed freely
'round guly hovels
A foe ilclicd"
"The stars flayed slowly upim
furtive hndies
Anil light Rayed blindly o'er
crowded faces
While gloom blazed foully
from broken loves
Our genrs giggles."
Shades of T. S. Eliot?
Not exactly. About a year
ago, Clair Phillippy, 26-ycar-old
RCA computer specialist al
Lancaster, Pa., looked at his
cold, calculating electronic com
puter and got an idea. If the
brainy machine could turn nut
figures on blanks why not blank
verse?
Phillippy got up a basic vo
cabulary of too words which he
fed with some minor instruc
tions lo his machine. He sepa
rated the words accordingly,
inlo nouns, adjectives, verbs
and adverbs, and inslructcd the
machine to come up with a
four - line verse, allowing 71)
words for the initial three lines
and 30 words for the final,
punch line.
The result is poetry. Or so
claim Phillippy's bosses with a
smile. "The poems are at times
reminiscent of Donne, Blake
and such modern poets as Eliot
and C u m m i n g s." they an
nounced to the world.
Phillippy himself doesn't like
poetry "I've never liked it,"
he declared during a visit to
New York lo demonstrate the
technique.
To date, Phillippy and the
RCA 301 computer have pro
duced more than 4,000 selec
tions of beatnik verse
tomorrow . . . the spark you
have produced may ignite a
flame ... a flame of . interest
and motivation "
Phillippy was adamant. "I
still don't like poetry," he said.
"I did it as a demonstration lo
show what this machine will I
do."
What the machine will do for
budding poets having trouble
putting words together is 150
poems a minute.

Medical Theory

For Heart Cases
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -The
day appears to be around the
corner when physicians will he
able to "see" a heart seizure
coming on.
When electrocardiograms were
found to be inconclusive for
predicting coronary thrombosis
or coronary occlusion, four Los
Angeles doctors in the depart
ments of radiology and medi
cine at the University of Cali
fornia School of Medicine be
gan work on a test that prom
ises to be a reliable indicator
of heart disease.
It's called Coronary Flow In
dex (CF1) and, broadly speak
ing, is a comparison by x-rays
of the rate of flow between va
rious parts of the body and the
coronary arteries (the arteries
that feed the heart).
The comparison is the CFl
and in test studies of 31 pa
tients, tlie researchers found 25
cases of definite occlusive dis
ease whose CFl was much low
er than thai of normal pati
ents. In their report in a recent
issue of Radiology, a medical
journal, the four researchers
said the advantage of CFl is
not only its accuracy, but its
relative speed and simplicity.
It's done by a single small
intravenous injection which
makes the x-rays possible.
Then serial x-rays arc taken in
about 30 seconds. The results
