Absurdes, ironiques ou amers, ces gribouillages sont des cris du coeur: "Je crie/J'ecris/#595 378 8222 bis de l'anonyme contrainte." On y trouve une haine de la societe urbanisee et dehumanisee, qui rappelle non seulement le ruralisme de Mao, mais celui de Rousseau, de Fourier, et de Proudhon: "L'economie est blesse, qu'elle creve." "Dessous les paves c'est la plage ..." Mepris des institutions democratiques ("Referendum -- voter sa chaine et son boulet."), anarchisme ("L'emancipation de l'homme sera totale ou ne sera pas."), foi en l'action directe ("L'aboutissement de toute pensee...
Noticeably Clearer. Nonetheless, Stroke says, all of the details of the photographed object are contained in the picture. The overlapping of spots, no matter how blurred the image, can be expressed in complex mathematical terms called Fourier transforms. Applying mathematical theory to holography, which also produces interference patterns that can be expressed by Fourier transforms, Stroke set up the optical equivalent of an equation. Using laser light, he made two transparencies -one of the blurred photograph of a microscope, the other of a purposely blurred picture of a spot of light shot by the same camera. Then he produced...
Having set up the optical equivalents of Fourier transforms, Stroke beamed laser light first through the transparency of the blurred microscope photograph and then through a "dividing" filter that consisted of both the hologram and the transparency of the blurred spot of light; in mathematical terms, he had thus divided one transform by another. Projected onto film the beam produced a crude but noticeably clearer picture of the microscope. Stroke had solved his optical equation...
...couture-vending Magnins-is studded with steamboat-Gothic mansions and psychedelic gathering places like the "I and Thou" coffee shop and the "Print Mint." Its inhabitants wear everything from Elizabethan motley to Judean beards. They preach every gospel from the 19th century socialism of France's Charles Fourier to the all-purpose caritas of St. Francis. Most of them-perhaps 80%-are steadily high on drugs ranging from LSD to such synthetic stimulants as Methedrine, Dexedrine and Benzedrine, which are known collectively as "speed." Gaudily painted trucks and buses thread with somnambulatory leisure through The Haight-Ashbury...
...green legacy" for the future. He was describing, in his own phrases, "the City of Promise," and in its attention to detail, the vision was almost worthy of some of the classic Utopians such as Étienne Cabet, who dreamed of a noiseless, dustless community, and Charles Fourier, who wanted to make lemonade from the sea. On closer inspection, the President's Utopian proposals were certainly within the realm of the possible in an America that feels it can do anything. The question for the people to decide was whether they would want a Federal Government...
