To demonstrate a century of progress, the teen-age descendants of Bell and Watson who re-enacted the historic moment then placed a call that was transmitted between two modern telephones not by electrical current or radio waves but by a beam of light passing through a hair-thin glass fiber. Proclaimed
...took many decades of research and three basic developments to make communication by optical wires a reality. One development was the invention in 1960 of the laser, a device capable of generating an intense narrow beam of light that, for all practical purposes, did not diverge. Miniaturized lasers make it possible to couple powerful light beams accurately with hair-fine glass fibers. Another was the perfection, by Corning Glass Works, of a fiber of glass so pure that it could transmit light long distances. The third accomplishment was the devising, by engineers at Bell Labs and elsewhere, of methods...
...three art historians, Leslie Parris, Ian Fleming-Williams and Conal Shields. It celebrates Constable's 200th birthday and is the largest showing of his work ever. For the first time, one can see the whole man under one roof-from the juvenilia (a graffito he scratched on a beam in the family mill when he was 16) and memorabilia, to the grand series of 6-ft. landscapes he painted in the 1820s and '30s.
