...light destroyed an entity. Edwards was sure the demonstration would convince Kübler-Ross that Barham was a fraud. No such luck. "This man has more gifts than you have ever seen," says Kübler-Ross. "He is probably the greatest healer that this country has." The current furor does not appear to disturb her. Says she: "Many attempts have been made to discredit us. To respond to them would be like casting pearls to swine...
...seems very uneven. His stacks of felt rectangles, topped with copper or iron plates, have the dumb, disengaged look common to most minimal art. It does not help much to learn that the slabs of felt are meant to resemble the plates in a wet-cell battery; no current runs, and inertia is inertia. His most extravagant object-20 tons of mutton fat cast into the form of a corner of a pedestrian underpass leading to Münster University, and now solemnly displayed in six pale hunks on the floor of the Guggenheim-was meant as a critique...

Certainly the world oil supply cannot last forever. But our current problems stem from a lack of surplus capacity that makes us vulnerable to the slightest production cutback by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

Almost all abortions occur after the sixth week of pregnancy. Electroencepholographs reveal a fetal brainwave pattern at 42 days, and this date probably represents the current limit of EEG technology, not the beginning of brain activity...
...long run, the United States must exert its influence to effect the return of democratic rights and institutions to South Korea. In addition to the power the U.S. holds as the principle foreign military presence in Korea, it gained leverage by moving swiftly in the current crisis to preserve stability on the Korean peninsula, placing U.S. forces in a state of readiness to forestall any North Korean adventures. The U.S. must use its diplomatic and economic leverage to act as an honest broker with the current rulers of South Korea, pressing for the release of political prisoners...
