...French Cabinet, after an all-day session with Charles de Gaulle, decided that it might be a good idea if all four major powers pitched in together to head off disaster-but stopped short of actually recommending such a move. Moscow, although concerned by the crisis, declined to align itself with the West and suggested disingenuously that the real answer would be for the U.S. and Britain to restrain Israel, which it called the aggressor...
...most outspoken "experts" on the painting of Morris Louis discuss his work as if it grew in total isolation from artistic influences, and, hence, has no art historical past. They align him with lesser painters (notably Kenneth Noland), they ignore all his romantic emotionality, and they explain him largely in intellectual terms. 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...
...some of whom were national advertisers, Induced Life's publisher, C.D. Jackson, to fly to a Schwarz rally in the Hollywood Bowl and offer a public apology.

...Russians have been hinting at an interest in renewing the moribund Franco-Soviet treaty of December 1944, under which De Gaulle and Stalin agreed to "eliminate any new menace from Germany." Although no one thought that De Gaulle was ready-just yet-for a "reversal of alliances" that would align France and Russia against West Germany, De Gaulle's aggressive antipathy toward Bonn is becoming ever clearer...
