Frei offered no revolutions. The tall, hawk-nosed Senator said he would work for slum redevelopment, tighter regulation of the U.S.-owned copper mines, more diversified industry, land reform -but all within a pro-West, democratic framework. "There is no need to regiment the life of the nation under the iron fist of dictatorship," he said last week. "Much less do we need an ideology that is deeply split between Moscow and Peking...
Handwriting on Sponges. The three traditional methods of making graphic-arts plates are: scoring smooth copper with a burin for intaglio engraving, carving in wood with a gouge for relief printing, and drawing on stone with grease crayon for lithography. Now, graphic artists print from almost anything almost any way. Sid Hammer, 38, produces his blocks by melting vinyl, as plain as kitchen flooring, with a hot incising iron. "My graphics," says he, "have the sensation of handwriting on a sponge." The handwriting ends up on the wall for less than $100. In Hawaii recently, an art student produced...
...such as From My Zoo, by building up patterned layers of cardboard coated with rabbit glue and gesso, then pressing wet paper under hundreds of pounds of pressure to emboss a white-on-white print. Boris Margo, 62, similarly makes a "cellocut" by carving into celluloid, coating it with copper, and stamping it into uninked paper...
Gingerbread on Pie Tins. Warrington Colescott, 43, etches on copper plates to which he glues other small, thin copper plates, collage style. When printed, the little plates emboss themselves more deeply into the paper than the ground plate, giving a perspective effect. "My favorite tool is a pair of airplane mechanic's shears," says Colescott, as he places cutouts on plates like gingerbread men on a pie tin, paradoxically creating foreground by millimeters more depth...
...centuries brewers have made their beer by the same ancient process, boiling it in towering copper kettles and fermenting it in vats, batch by cumbersome batch. Now automation has finally caught up with beer. Last week technicians for Canadian Breweries Ltd. worked at taking the last kinks out of a new, fully automated $8,000,000 plant at Fort Worth, Texas, where beer will be made within two months by a radical technology. Brewers have considered the method for years and other firms are testing it, but Canadian Breweries will be the first to use it in beer production...
