...begin? No one seems quite sure, but Ken Fairchild of New York City's radio station WMCA has a theory. In 1964, he recalls, WMCA created a Smilie similar to the curren version as part of a promotion campaign for the Good Guys, the station's disk-jockey team at the time. "Ours had a few wisps of hair on the top," he recalls, "and I think it was cuter." WMCA handed out thousands of Good Guy sweatshirts during the 1964-66 period and a few still can be seen around the city today. One of them...
...more about the mysterious universe. Loved, feared, worshiped, the moon has figured in the mythology of most ancient people and has awed man since the beginning of human experience. The Greeks, who personified the moon in the form of the goddess Selene, were the first to study the lunar disk scientifically. They realized that their goddess was not luminous herself but shone only in the reflected light of the sun.

A disk may allude to the sun, to a breast or to an altar; a triangle to a pyramid or a bird's spread wings. With its vertical masts and calm progression of red, sail-like forms, Odyssey, one of the monumental sculptures at Hammarskjold Plaza, suggests an archaic flotilla dipping through the Aegean. Sometimes a sculpture will work not as an object but as a kinetic metaphor of force. Ascent includes a blade of red steel that...
...peripherals with prices 10% to 35% lower than comparable existing models. On top of that, IBM filed a lawsuit against Memorex, a large peripheral maker, alleging use of IBM trade secrets. The company also brought out a model of its new System/370 that can be equipped with its own disk drive, making it difficult for a user to add a competitor's gadget. The independents have retaliated with price cuts of their own, and more are expected...
