...shallow, vigorous flurry of space and line around the vestiges of a head. With De Kooning, the energy and propulsion of the line tend to abolish the usual distinctions between painting and drawing; line turns out to be equal to brush mark in its power to suggest density, friction, displacement, tactility and all the other signs by which we recognize the life of forms. It seems likely that in the future, De Kooning's originality as a draftsman will be seen to reside in his power to cross the bound aries of category and process: painting as drawing...
...metal alloys contain asbestos, as do a whole host of plastic articles ranging from frying pan handles to playdough. The asbestos-cement industry is a principal user, employing asbestos in the fabrication of shingles, insulation and plastic board, pipes, roadways, sidewalks, asphalt and almost every other fireproof or high-friction cement product. No satisfactory substitute has yet been discovered...
...original Swiss system, the flywheel (housed in a vacuum chamber to reduce friction from the air) will be used to produce electricity for the vehicle's 150-h.p. motor rather than to drive the wheels directly. If the flywheel's speed drops below its normal operational minimum (6,000 r.p.m.), the motor can be operated on power from overhead electric lines. Simultaneously, this power source-or in the future, underground transformers-can also be used to spin up the flywheel again...
...Structure. The long weeks with no break in the case have led to friction between the law enforcement agencies involved in it. State investigators privately criticize the FBI for adopting "a timid approach" to the kidnaping. The bureau admittedly has followed its established practice of moving cautiously in kidnapings so as not to jeopardize the victim, and it continues to regard Patty as a victim, not a member of the S.L.A. But FBI officials challenged the charge that they were overly cautious. "We've practically turned Berkeley over," said John Kelley, assistant special agent in charge of the investigation...

It will offer Guiness, Bass Charrington and other British Isless beers, ales and stouts, though they are expensive. Cheaper hard liquor is available, as is cheaper soft alcohol. The clientele is varied, and sometimes some friction develops between the factions, but so what...
