Although Talenti and Ndosi emit plenty of energy in their performances, it was not as if there was a lack of it in the Saturday performance. The water pipes on the ceiling kept the room at a toasty temperature...
...International, a Washington-based monthly. BEI Defense Systems, a Fort Worth-based arms manufacturer (1988 sales: $51 million), has come up with a novel twist on the aromatic advertisements that fill consumer magazines. When scratched, the latest ads for its Hydra-70, a relatively inexpensive rocket ($400 to $800), emit the odor of burnt cordite, an explosive substance in such weapons. The ad's tag line: "The Smell of Victory...

TV's nation of lip readers thought they saw Daley emit the words: "F you, you Jew son of a bitch . . . Go home!" Daley later said he never used language like that. In any case, a century of backroom politics died at that instant...
...that of a terrestrial mountain, but no larger than the subatomic proton. Then, applying the quantum theory (which accurately describes the random, uncertain subatomic world) instead of general relativity (which, it turns out, falters in that tiny realm), Hawking was startled to find that the mini-black holes must emit particles and radiation. Even more remarkable, the little holes would gradually evaporate and, 10 billion years or so after their creation, explode with the energy of millions of H-bombs...
INFRARED SENSORS. Several satellites, including an advanced craft called Teal Ruby that is being prepared for launch, have detectors that are sensitive to the infrared frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. These sensors can determine the size and shape of Soviet test warheads from the radiation they emit as they streak through the atmosphere. Pictures taken with film sensitive to infrared emissions are especially useful for spotting missiles or launch vehicles that have been camouflaged on the ground to look like vegetation...
