...Chelsea Girls, Warhol shows a condescending attitude todard his characters, illustrated by his willingness to let them overplay and caricature themselves. That is why the camera repeatedly zooms in on the jiggling breasts of the fat lesbian while she phones-in her order for 300 caps of acid. In her way, she's very funny. Warhol lets you enjoy her as long as you give him the credit for seeing her first...
...really tough go-goer hangs around the Olds-mobile 442, which squats near the main entrance. If the girl doesn't catch your eye, the color of the car will. "Lemon-lime luster" is very much like citric acid to the eye. It smarts. It glares. It offends. It's guaranteed to prevent scurvy on sight. The girl's nice, however. Her lines almost mitigate the lines she sings; like "442 -- the Groovy-go machine that will tickle your taste buds for action!" "And inside," she promised, "there are goodies galore." G-g-golly...
Martens, director of the Washington Hospital Center's laboratories, now in charge of the A.M.A. screenings, reports that 23% of the physicians tested had higher-than-normal cholesterol levels, 15% had high uric acid, and 6% revealed some kidney trouble. In the last screening, six cases of unsuspected diabetes were disclosed. Similar findings could be expected in any group of professional men in the same age range...
Unlike the traditional auto battery, which contains solid lead and lead dioxide electrodes in a liquid electrolyte of sulphuric acid, the new Ford battery uses liquid sodium and liquid sulphur for electrodes and a novel ceramic electrolyte made of aluminum oxide. In the battery, electric current is produced by separating the sodium and sulphur with the ceramic electrolyte, which blocks the passage of all particles except sodium ions (sodium atoms stripped of one of their electrons...
Another two years of development will be required, Ford estimates, to produce sodium-sulphur batteries large enough to power even the smallest compact cars. Such batteries would weigh about 300 lbs., produce about 10 kw. of power, and store 15 times as much energy as lead-acid batteries. Equipped with the new batteries, two prototype electric cars that Ford is now building in England are designed to travel 150 miles at 40 m.p.h. They will weigh 1,100 lbs. and carry two adults and two children. Because electric cars require no transmission, radiator, fuel tank, carburetor, fuel pump, exhaust pipe...
