...going. But this year, interest rates have risen scarcely at all-despite the fact that the Federal Reserve industrial production index hit an alltime high of 112 in July. Says Vice President John J. Barry of Boston's National Shawmut Bank: "Right now there seems to be an equilibrium between supply and demand for funds...
...Equilibrium of Masses. Maillol would have been at home in ancient Greece. On his first visit to Piraeus, he declared that he had "come home to Banyuls, the same houses, same windmills, same trees and flowers." When a student later said to him, "The Acropolis must have struck you in the face," Maillol quietly replied, "On the contrary, it gave me a kiss." Like early Greek statues, Maillol's nudes wear an expressionless gaze; his statues are neither anecdotal nor are they portraits. "I look for beauty, not character," he said. "I look for architecture and volume. Sculpture...
...flight of so many of Cape Canaveral's great fire-breathing birds, last week's show was a dazzling spectacle. The blast-off was swift and sure; there was none of that heart-stopping hover of other tests when liquid-fueled monsters seemed to balance in uncertain equilibrium before they picked up the momentum of flight. This time the gleaming, 58-ft. cylinder shot straight up into the sky ahead of its lengthening tail. Three seconds after launch, its guidance system took over, turned it into the southeast. Thirty minutes later, the first Minuteman, largest solid-fueled rocket...
Loud noise also causes a number of unpleasant bodily sensations, such as vibration of the head and eyeballs, loss of vision, loss of equilibrium and heating of the skin. A noise of 160 decibels can kill rats and mice. Explains Knudsen: "The body temperature rises to a lethal level. It's the conversion of sound energy into heat that kills." In humans, at sounds near and above 160 decibels, the stirrup (one of three little bones in the middle ear) may be driven through the small "window" in the well of the inner ear. Possible result: meningitis, from infection...
...recognize as my own: first, that the really significant difference between the United States and the USSR is in their attitude to personal liberty; second, that the balance between communism and the quasi-capitalism of the West will not come into any sort of permanent equilibrium untl communism has made further advances. In this latter case, I added the explanation--omitted in Mr. Smith's account--that the spread of communism in the under-developed world would very likely come in unorthodox forms inspired by Yugoslav or Polish example...
