...Luminage Projector from two standard Buhl "Carrousel" projectors, altering their machinery so that a full complement of 160 slides would modulate gradually, "sensuously," in one continuous cycle. To achieve his abstract patterns, he painted the slides with transparent chemicals, then aimed a laser beam at some, bombarded others with gamma rays in a reactor to alter their stress patterns. The nudes were photographed in light cast through the slides; their bodies are not painted...
...decade since the turn-of-the-century's sinuous art-nouveau style first began to stage a comeback, its tendrils have crept into every phase of graphic design, from TV logos to caftan prints. Of late, its variations have grown increasingly bizarre. Like a butterfly bombarded by gamma rays, art nouveau is mutating, intermarrying with the eye-jarring color schemes of op and the gaudy commercialism...
...frugal mark of the proprietor runs deep at McDonnell's 408-acre, 30-building headquarters and plant. There are no frills amid the tangle of boxlike brick offices, glass-clad research laboratories and steel-walled hangars. Scientists experiment with laser beams and gamma rays in basement rooms so jammed with costly equipment that it is difficult to walk about. Executives often labor in windowless cubbyholes. But there are no audible complaints. McDonnell spends weeks and months scouting out able men, screens them with such painstaking care that he is rarely forced to fire anybody. Though he delves into everything from...
...patients could be combined. Couldn't the pooled substance be used to make a vaccine that would work on victims of various forms of cancer? Cancerous cells were thereupon collected from patients all over the country and put through an extraction process. The remaining protein was combined with gamma globulin from rabbit serum in the hope of producing an all-purpose vaccine. The trouble with this imaginative theory is that so far there is no accepted evidence for the existence of such widely effective antigens in unrelated cancers...
...result, the cells become covered with thousands of gamma-1 molecules. Thus the other, more effective gamma-2 antibodies can find no place to attach themselves and are totally unable to act. With their coating of inactive gamma-1 antibodies, cancer cells feed, grow and spread...
