...medical memory card is in part the brainchild of Computer Whiz Douglas Becker, 19, of Baltimore, who approached Blue Cross after reading about laser cards in computer magazines. Like the videodisk and compact audio disk, the laser card, which was developed by Drexler Technology Corp. of Mountain View, Calif., depends on laser optic technology, in which a low-power laser beam is used both to burn digital information onto the card and to "read" that information by scanning the surface. Says Becker: "This is a new application for an older mousetrap...
...seems unconcerned with such staples as utility and affordability. Says he: "There's a bottomless appetite for novelty in the age of hype. The interesting thing is why they chose to call it furniture." And the Museum of Modern Art's director of architecture and design, Arthur Drexler, refuses to mount a Memphis show at MOMA. Says he: "Announcing that it's all deeply philosophical gives the media a peg to hang it on. But it's only a mix of California funk, 1920s Kurt Schwitters [the German Dadaist], and a few things that have been...
Thirteen Houston dunks rattled the sport, several deserving not just points but marks. "Some sixes, some sevens," judged Jim Valvano, N.C. State's streety New York coach. "Drexler had a ten-plus."

...MOMA exhibition, the first architecture show in the museum's new west wing, conveys Neutra's human appeal as well as his architectural brilliance. Created by Arthur Drexler, MOMA's director of the department of architecture and design, with Historian Thomas Mines, the exhibit is engagingly mounted in a Neutra-esque sequence of spaces, which vary in size to suit the displays and in the hues of their gray walls to suit their mood...
...just like suddenly seeing the unicorn or some other fairy tale figure one has been searching for behind the rainbow," as Neutra recalled later. The unicorn offered Neutra a job at his Taliesin, Wis. workstead. The association did much to shape Neutra's style, although, as Drexler says in the exhibition catalogue, Neutra was both praised and blamed for cleaning up Wright's complications. While Mies and the others translated Wrightian picturesque into the language of abstract painting, Neutra advanced along the simple lines of Japanese architecture, which Wright also admired...
