...color-but also in their light and density of surface. Resnick is a quite traditional painter, to the extent that he works in intimate, stroke-by-stroke contact with his painting. Brush marks pile on one another, forming a layered web of minutely graded pigment. (Some times the crust gets so thick that it is physically unwieldy: one large canvas in the show, Pink Fire, has 450 lbs. of paint on it.) The effect is not of a grand abstract-expressionist gesture, but rather a quiet, inexorable accumulation of incidents...
...that looked as dead as the moon. Lately, this view of Mars has been radically revised. Contrary to the first photographic impression, U.S. scientists told an international space conference in Madrid last week, Mars is still undergoing sharp climatic changes. Violent geological activity has left scars all across its crust and, most significant, there may be enough water on its surface to support the evolution of primitive life...
...some combination of the above...The contradictory message that the girl gets, from society as well as from her parents, it that is she is too smart, too independent, and above all, too serious about her work, she is unfeminine and will therefore never get married... Once the thin crust of encouragement is broken, a deep well of social conditioning is discovered underneath. She goes into a tailspin of anxiety as she struggles to reverse her appetite for human fulfillment, an appetite she now learns is in direct contradiction to her feminine fulfillment...Our culture has made a deep split...
...Upper Crust. Architect Safdie originally designed Habitat as a pilot low-cost housing project, but its present tenants are definitely upper crust: professors, architects, lawyers, musicians and business executives. CMHC advertises it as "the most sophisticated place to live in Canada," which is a jarring contrast with Architect Safdie's original intentions. Safdie himself, feeling that rents were unrealistically high, moved out of Habitat in protest three years...
Mysterious Silence. Despite the storm, readings taken by Mariner's infrared spectrometer enabled JPL investigators to identify several earthlike minerals in the Martian crust, including quartz, granite and anorthocite. Those findings caused considerable excitement among the scientists. They indicated that Mars had at one point in its history undergone melting and that lighter elements had floated to the surface, later hardening into an earthlike crust. Included among the lighter elements are carbon compounds that were necessary for the development of life on earth. Said NASA Exobiologist Jerry Soffen, who is project scientist for the Viking program that will make...
