Probes in Force. There was daylight action as well. Every day, Marine patrols accompanied by agile M-60 Tiger tanks probed at the enemy in force, measuring his strength, assessing his movements, identifying his units, trying to, lure him into battle. But the Communist troops stayed in their foxholes. The bugles did not blow last week...
...LENSES. Improved optical glass and computer calculations have led to new lenses that were impossible to make before. Zeiss has an f0.70 lens, 100 times faster than the human eye in daylight, for general photography, and a 110° wide-angle lens free of distortions. Schneider has a movie-projection lens that without alterations can handle nor mal and widescreen, Cinemascope and Todd-AO film...
Dempsey had quite an interesting afternoon. Late in the fourth quarter, as Columbia desperately tried to move for a second touchdown from its own 34, he took a pass at about the 45. Trying to cut back for the extra step he needed for daylight, Dempsey instead went further and further back until he was tackled at the line of scrimmage...
...mystery of their creation merely exposes their absurdity. In general, the poorer sculptures are simplistic works with sententious justifications. Dan Flavin, for instance, exhibits two parallel neon tubes, one yellow-gold, the other blue. The explanation? "Here will be the basic counting marks (primitive abstractions) restated long in the daylight glow of common fluorescent tubes. Such an elemental system becomes possible (ironic) from the context of the previous work." Such an elemental system is also possible in most light fixtures. Italo Scanga, on the other hand, is interested in "polite art." His sculptures are groupings of identical cylinders meant...
Scientists had ordered the picture shot to show the earth's terminator line -the boundary between the daylight and nighttime hemispheres-which they had predicted would be fuzzy and indistinct because of the earth's atmosphere. Inspection of the first rough print of Orbiter's picture showed a terminator about as sharp as that on the moon -which has no atmosphere...
