...British exporters have so far responded disappointingly to the opportunities that devaluation affords for selling more cheaply abroad. Many, in fact, have actually raised their prices. Scotch distillers pumped prices up 11.5%, dye sellers 16.7%. Even when letting their prices fall with the pound, some exporters have stopped short of full value, gauging what the traffic will bear. MG-maker British Motors, for example, reduced prices 12% in Europe, but only...
...swept up in a craze for chestnut-brown color that is being called "La folie du marron." While high-fashion arbiters were favoring basic black, buyers last summer began ordering their ready-to-wear dresses and suits in brown. Manufacturers took note, but no one imagined how far the dye would be cast...
Like ordinary light, the powerful coherent beam of the laser passes relatively unobstructed through transparent skin, giving up little of its energy in the form of heat. When it hits the colored dye particles beneath the surface of the skin, it is absorbed and converted into intense heat that instantaneously vaporizes the particles. The resulting plume of hot vapor bursts through the surface of the skin above the tattoo, charring and crusting it. In most of the 116 cases treated in the past three years at the university's laser laboratory, the seared areas of skin have healed rapidly...
Military engineers will start work late this year or early in 1968 on the barrier, known so far to the Pentagon as Project Dye Marker and immediately nicknamed "McNamara's Wall." But it will be no ordinary wall: instead of a Maginot line of concrete and steel, great tracts of rugged, mountainous jungle will be guarded by hidden electronic devices. Some, no larger than a silver dollar, can be seeded by aircraft; once in place, they will detect the movement of the smallest enemy groups and transmit warnings to gun crews miles away. "We are getting better and better...
...will destroy Israel in four days." In Damascus, schools were closed, more in celebration than precaution against air raids, and schoolchildren, singing rhythmically, filled sandbags and placed them around public buildings. Having no prepared shelters, the Syrians hastily converted two discothèques. In Beirut, supplies of laundry bluing, vegetable dye and blue paint quickly ran out as drivers rushed to darken their headlights. The nouveau-modern Phoenicia Hotel painted all its windows on the first five floors in blue so that some of its guests could have light during the blackout...
