Using an instrument called the geodimeter, Hofmann aimed a beam of in tense light from a site on one side of a fault at a reflector set up on the other side, between twelve and 20 miles away...
...twaddle of all establishments, whether founded upon outworn socialist unrealities or rampant democratic rhetoric. Arlecq puts in a stint as a government guide, conducting a party of Indonesian comrades from Goethe's shrine in Weimar to the Buchenwald concentration camp where, in spite of his efforts, the Indonesians beam and smile, mistaking it for a prehistory museum.

Sonar Search. The startling observation was made by a University of Birmingham team armed with a modern monster detector: sophisticated sonar equipment. Setting up operations on a Loch Ness pier, the scientists projected a beam of high-frequency sound waves through the water. During one 13-min. period, the sonar echoes defined large moving objects that Birmingham Electrical Engineer D. Gordon Tucker says were "clearly" made by animals...
...believes that a neutron star has an in credibly intense magnetic field that traps ionized gases expelled from the supernova. As the star and its magnetic field spin, the outmost of the trapped gases are whirled at almost the speed of light until they break away, producing an intense beam of radio waves-the regularly spaced pulses. At the same time, Gold theorizes, the ionized gases exert a drag on the magnetic field, and thus on the star itself, gradually slowing its rate of spin...

Now, thanks to a splendrous 315-work display of paintings, tapestries, drawings and prints at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Jordaens is finally getting the kind of full-beam spotlight necessary to illuminate his artistic individuality in all its flaws and triumphs...
