...well as on, Foujita reached Paris in 1913 in purple morning coat and pith helmet, went on to hobnob with the brilliant and the bizarre in the Montmartre of the '20s. He painted cats by the thousands and almost as many catlike women, achieving the first real fusion of Oriental brushwork and Western oils. He topped off his career in 1966 with a set of giant frescoes for a specially built chapel near Rheims, hoping cheerfully to "atone for 80 years of sins...
...equally renowned as a patroness of the arts. At her bidding, Juan de Flandes and Miguel Sithium painted 47 miniature panels between 1498 and 1504 portraying the lives of Christ and Mary for her private chapel. All but two were probably by Juan de Flandes, a Fleming whose sophisticated fusion of courtliness and naiveté, and languid, doll-like figures were much prized in the Northern European Renaissance. Painter Albrecht Dürer, when he saw the panels in 1521, exclaimed: "I have never seen the like for precision and excellence...
...students seem to be much more aware of the need for balance than the government--which is a hopeful sign for coming years. In Adzope, Robert-Jean Seka, who was elected leader of the youth, is probably the most articulate advocate for a fusion of both systems...
Closet-Size Shoe Box. Because the large currents that flow in superconductors generate the intense magnetic fields needed in atom smashers and in controlled fusion experiments, superconductors will eventually replace bulky elecromagnets in these areas. A 1-lb. superconducting magnet cooled by a 200-lb. refrigerating system and powered by a 6-volt battery can produce as intense a magnetic field as an iron-core electromagnet weighing several tons and requiring 50 kilowatts of power. Entire trains could be suspended above their roadbeds in strong magnetic fields produced by superconducting magnets, enabling them to travel more smoothly and with less...
...placing ourselves and the rest of the world in great jeopardy. We do this by not facing the facts, however unpleasant: China is the great power in Asia and she cannot be contained by us; Communism and nationalism are inseparably fused in Viet Nam, and the fusion will not disappear short of genocide. We feel ourselves called upon to destroy the Communist philosophy by war. This is impossible, so we kill people, but not ideas...
