I think I am correct in recalling that, for some reason, Megaera's final triple taunt of "Coward!" has been omitted...
...Einstein pointed out that an atom or molecule stimulated by an electro-magnetic wave (light, for example) would give off a basic unit of light called the photon, which would have the same wave length as the stimulating wave. A number of subsequent experiments proved Einstein correct. But not until 1958 did Physicists Arthur Schawlow and Charles Townes describe a device that they thought would be able to stimulate molecules of gas confined in a cylinder until they gave off photons in an intense and powerful stream. Their device was a variation of Townes's earlier Nobel Prizewinning invention...
Imaginative scientists have proposed that powerful laser beams (which actually exert pressure on a surface) be used to push back into correct orbit satellites that have begun to fall toward earth. Others have gone beyond the early idea of a death ray and suggested that laser beams may eventually be powerful enough to provide the ultimate defensive weapon against missiles. Powerful laser beams, they predict, might well make iCBMs obsolete. Focused on an incoming missile, their light would generate enough heat to melt it into uselessness...
Whether or not that analysis is correct or fair, commercials obviously represent the American materialist vision of the good life all the shiny possessions and luxuries that people want, or are supposed to want...
...lawyer, Brennan in 1940 was the first American appointed to the Sacred Rota, Roman Catholicism's court of last appeal in marriage, in 1959 became its chief judge, and last January was named the first American to head the Curia's Congregation of Sacraments, which ensures the correct administration of the seven sacraments.

Gruff, unfailingly honest and highly literate, Maney assailed the theater for its "notorious affair with mediocrity...
