...such circumstances it is the obligation of the university to rebel against the violation of man and align itself in public with humanity. Today, the university is required to condemn the government of the United States for its barbaric crusade against the life and spirit of the people of Vietnam.

The quality of feeling in Louis' paintings is undeniable and though the influence of the intellectual approach of Noland and the critic Clement Greenberg is clear, Louis cannot be discussed as part of that movement...
...HEATING. When microwaves are focused into a narrow beam and directed at substances such as water, organic solvents and salt solutions, they cause them to heat almost instantaneously. Because the molecules of these substances are polarized-containing an uneven distribution of positive and negative charges-they align themselves with the direction of an electric field. Microwave fields reverse themselves rapidly; to keep up with them, the polarized molecules must oscillate constantly. This oscillation produces a rise in temperature. In a microwave oven, for example, the electric field completely permeates a potato, instantly heating the moisture in its center as well...
