...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.

After seeing the show, it is hard to think about madness and confinement in the same way again...
...offering Rajneesh their talents. Since 1974, when the lushly gardened Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh Ashram opened in the sedate city of Poona, more than 50,000 seekers have gone, mostly from the U.S., Britain and West Germany. Among recent visitors: Actor Terence Stamp, Singer Diana Ross and the Marquis of Bath. Now the guru is instructing his best-connected disciple yet: Richard Price, co-founder and director of the Esalen Institute, the very fount of the encounter craze. Price will return to the Big Sur, Calif., center in mid-January to apply the teachings of his new master...
