Between the pictures shot by cameras aboard the submersible Alvin, the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) J.J. and the towed sled Angus, Ballard said, "there is not a square inch of the Titanic that has not been photographed in beautiful detail." Woods Hole scientists plan to create a photomosaic of the entire ship, a project that will take several months. But Secretary of the Navy John Lehman, whose department financed the expedition, had already seen enough. Delighted with the spectacular outcome, he declared Ballard the Navy's "Bottom Gun" and presented him with a duly inscribed navy blue baseball...
...exhibition has ever made a stronger case for the quality of futurist art or gone into more detail about its roots. Futurism was the most influential art movement Italy produced in the early 20th century.

The core of the futurist group, which coalesced in the early 1900s, was made up of the painters Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra...
Assessing the ups and downs of a pulsating global economy requires both an eye for detail and an ability to identify broad emerging trends.

Their discussions contributed heavily to this week...

Their professional style is based on the belief that the producer-director team that works harder than anyone else and knows in detail every aspect of the production is bound to command respect. Cameron can be demanding on the set. Recalls Reiser: "Working with him wasn't like a frolic." Says Henriksen, who has completed three locations with Cameron: "He is the bride in every wedding and the corpse at every funeral." Most...
Fearful of a backlash, corporations tend to be hesitant about describing the inner workings of their monitoring programs. Says Barton Reppert, publisher of Office Health & Safety Monitor, a newsletter: "Many companies won't say anything in detail about it. It's a very sensitive area." Companies with thousands of workers doing repetitive jobs tend to operate some of the most stringent monitoring systems. At Pacific Southwest Airlines offices in San Diego and Reno, the master computer records exactly how long the 400 reservation clerks spend on each call and how much time passes before they pick up their next...
