...houses. Even $2 million "cottages" are as nearly maintenance-free as possible. Most new arrivals expect to walk into a readymade environment, with none of the bother of planning or decorating. Some builders, like Stephen Chefan, 52, furnish the houses down to the last table cloth and teaspoon, fill the bookshelves and stock the bar. Architecturally, the dwellings are a kind of California contemporary. Most come with pools, Jacuzzi rooms, electronic security systems and multimedia entertainment rooms. Says Albert Segal, who moved to the Gold Coast from Charlotte, N.C., after retiring as chairman of the Pic'n Pay shoe...
...only think in limited terms. Hubert Dreyfus, a philosophy professor at Berkeley, observes that "all aspects of human thought, including nonformal aspects like moods, sensory-motor skills and long-range self-interpretations, are so interrelated that one cannot substitute an abstractable web of explicit beliefs for the whole cloth of our concrete everyday practice." Marianne Moore saw the web her own way: "The mind is an enchanting thing,/ is an enchanted thing/ like the glaze on a/ katydid-wing/ subdivided by sun/ till the nettings are legion,/ Like Gieseking playing Scarlatti."

But if the physicist is made of whole cloth, the other personae of this remarkable exercise in fiction and historiography are not, and they rise from the pages as Jakob remembers them and their contributions to physics. There is the fascinating Scotsman James Clerk Maxwell, who forged the theory of electromagnetism, and Jakob's fellow Germans, Heinrich Hertz, Hermann...
...resulting evidence. But more, not less, scientific evidence is likely in the future. With the help of an ion chromatograph, FBI technicians are starting to determine not only the type but even the manufacturer of explosive substances. Lasers are enabling experts to lift fingerprints from difficult surfaces like cloth and even the human body. Kansas City's Howell believes that the coming years will see a great increase in the use of weapon marks. In one stabbing murder, researchers compared a section of the victim's trachea with cuts made in a bar of soap by the suspect...
