THE WEB OF FEAR


 THE WEB OF FEAR.   Written by Mervyn Haisman, Henry Lincoln.   6 episodes.
                    3rd February - 9th March 1968.
                 
 COMPANIONS:- Jamie and Victoria.

   The TARDIS is trapped by a web like substance and materialises in the
 London Underground. They meet Professor Travers again and he admits that
 he has reactivated a Yeti, letting the Great Intelligence back into the
 physical world. The web like growth has invaded the underground and has
 cut off the roads into London. The Doctor meets the C.O. of the army
 operation, Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart.
   The Doctor has to surrender himself to the Intelligence as it has taken
 Victoria and Travers hostage. A brain-draining helmet is placed on his
 head but he attempts to drain the Intelligence and is succeeding until he
 is "rescued" by his friends.
   This story somewhat shaped the future format of the show, that of alien
 menaces in the modern world. It also laid the foundations for the
 establishment of U.N.I.T.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
