...others explored the world in microscopic detail. While China had its share of artistic individualists, most painters repeated the themes and composition of the great masters even centuries after the masters were dead. If Western art has tended to progress in bursts of genius, Chinese art has tended to flow. Each time of greatness has passed onto the next its heritage intact...
Indirectly, Bunge & Born got its start in the lyth century, when a merchant family named Bunge (pronounced bungee) began trading in wheat along the Baltic coast. In 1876, when the first immense shipments of grain began to flow to Europe from the Pampas, young Ernest Bunge and his brother-in-law, George Born, emigrated from Antwerp to Buenos Aires and started a branch that soon overshadowed its European trunk. The company expanded even more rapidly under Ernest Bunge's successor, German-born Alfred ("Don Alfredo") Hirsch, who used the grain trade profits to diversify into milling and manufacturing. Since...
Technicians speak of an electron "beam," but it is incorrect to think off the machine as producing a continuous flow of high-energy electrons. In reality, the electrons spurt into the ring from the linear accelerator in bunches of 100 million at the rate of 60 bunches per second. At 16 places in the ring, there are radio-frequency powered acceleration cavities. Each time the electron bunch passes through a cavity, its energy increases. The electron pulses thus receive discrete "kicks" of energy as they orbit, until they have finally reached the energy level desired for any particular experiment...
Despite corporate efforts to trim advertising expenditures, however, the trend to bigger ad budgets seems likely to continue. Contributing to that trend, along with the flow of consumer advertising, are the industrial and institutional campaigns. This year U.S. business, mostly in the fields of construction and heavy manufacturing, will invest close to $600 million in fact-crammed industrial ads intended to attract the eyes of purchasing agents and establish a company's reputation so that it will be invited to supply talent and material and to bid on jobs. In addition, there are ''institutional" ads-such...
Schools of law, business, and public administration, other graduate and professional schools, as well as colleges and divisions of arts and letters, were almost untouched by this very large flow of federal money. It is hard to see how the situation could have been otherwise, since thus far considerations of health, defense, economic development, and the need for scientific advance alone have had the power to release such funds. A third of the federal dollars going to Stanford and Princeton, 50 per cent of M.I.T.'s and 70 per cent of Michigan's were spent for research in engineering, while...
