THERE isn't much money around in the credit markets at present. Bond prices have been low and interest rates high for months. Buying money is so expensive that some states and municipalities are holding back on floating bonds for public improvements. Interest rates for housing are prohibitively high-construction has virtually ceased...
Even the Federal government is having trouble financing and refinancing the accelerating national debt. Why? the Treasury sold a 3.5 billion dollar bond issue on May 5, the entire credit system almost collapsed. The cause went beyond a shortage of money caused by the Federal Reserve Board's anti-inflationary moves in April. Because of Cambodia, investors didn't want to touch the issue. The Federal Reserve had to buy much of it, thereby pumping money into the economy and accelerating inflation...
This may not have been the archaeological coup of the age, but in some mysterious fashion, it suddenly seized the imagination of a group of European sculptors after World War II. All at once, Bond Street and Rue de Seine overflowed with tasteful mock fossils by Marino Marini, Germaine Richier and César. The style spread to America. The parallels were too many and too pat to miss: Pompeianism suited many a Fifties liberal, with his passive sense of impending catastrophe and his culturally induced impotence in the face of Joe McCarthy and Curtis LeMay. (Q. What...
Guillet's team got around such problems by finding a way to chemically bond groups of "sensitized" molecules directly into the plastic's carbon chain. When these "S" groups absorb ultraviolet light from direct sunlight, he says, their carbon "backbones" soon begin to be decomposed by microorganisms. But indoors-even in front of glass windows-they will not be affected. Guillet claims that the speed of the breakdown can be controlled by varying the number of "S" groups bonded into the plastic molecules. He also thinks that the process would raise the price of plastics by only...
There are several possibilities for state assistance. One of the most obvious would be a state supported bond issue to build a decent opera house, which could incorporate some of the more basic advances in modern acoustics which were neglected when the City of Boston built the John J. Hines Memorial (alias War Memorial) auditorium. The next logical step would be some sort of assistance to an opera company, either in the form of an outright grant to some established private group, like the Boston Opera Company, or, more preferably, the founding of an official state opera, which would reside...
