...LIKED RHINESTONE SUITS, and he bought four Cadillacs almost before he bought himself a house. He thought frequent bathing unhealthy, but forced himself to take a bath every Saturday night--as the saying goes--whether he needed it or not. But when Hank Williams died at the age of 27 in the back seat of one of his Cadillacs that December night in 1954, heading down a desolate stretch of U.S. Route 60 for one more gig, the whole nation mourned this strange Alabaman whose country standards like "Jambalaya," "Your Cheatin' Heart," and "Lonesome Me" have entered the pop pantheon...
...human brain and the rest of the central nervous system are immersed in a bath of cerebrospinal fluid, which must remain at a constant pressure. Anything that causes a significant increase in that pressure-a brain tumor, a hemorrhage, a bad head injury-may be fatal unless the fluid can be drained off in time...
...effect, the wafers are rusted-covered by a thin, electrically insulating layer of silicon dioxide that prevents short-circuiting. Then the wafers are coated with still another substance: the resist, a photographic-type emulsion sensitive only to ultraviolet (UV) light. (To prevent accidental exposure, clean rooms are generally bathed in UV-less yellow light.) Next, a tiny mask, scaled down photographically from a large drawing and imprinted with hundreds of identical patterns of one layer of the chip's circuitry, is placed over the wafer. Exposed to UV, the resist's shielded areas remain soft and are readily...
...typical follow-the-leader fashion, the rest of the country is only now catching on. A massive quantity of advertising has tueled the hot tub phenomenon nationwide, but it's not all hype. Anyone who likes a good hot bath immediately understands the hot tub's appeal. One enjoys all the soothing relaxation of a bath, which scientific studies have shown to compare favorably with psychoanalysis. But instead of the usual confined surroundings--a steamy, suffocating atmosphere and a view of clammy tiles--imagine the sky above, the good earth below, and miles and miles of California forest stretching...
...patient beginning a hand stand - a knot of barely decipherable limbs, a weird sculpture on the glittering linoleum. But the general character of the photographs is to convey sympathy with these trapped lives. Nowhere is it manifested more poignantly than in her pictures of women relaxing in the hospital bath. Such subjects, in other hands, might have piled voyeurism on intrusion. But in "Ward 81" they acquire a sort of elegiac sweetness, as images of bathers tend to do. After seeing the show, it is hard to think about madness and confinement in the same way again...
