...Heezen and Glass, the coincidence implied that one phenomenon may have caused the other. The impact on the earth of a mile-wide meteorite might well have disturbed the complex motions of the earth's core that are believed to generate the magnetic field. As a result, the geologists suggest, the field may have flipped. It is also conceivable, they say, that at least some of the previous reversals of the magnetic field were caused by the catastrophic collision of huge meteorites or comets with the earth...
...Cook County Hospital, Dr. Irving M. Bush and Dr. J. Lester Wilkey have assembled a color TV cystoscope from standard, commercially available components. Its power of inner vision depends on a system of lenses and a cable of glass fibers, less than one-quarter of an inch in thickness, inserted through the urethra, to carry the intense light from a 1 00,000-ft. -candle source and to carry back an image of what is reflected from the bladder wall. Using local and spinal anesthesia, the Cook County doctors have been able to see: the inflamed areas in cystitis...
...Blueprints. Curator Tuchman, who took two years to assemble his show and visited 300 studios across the country, believes that the key trend emerging from the diversity of his exhibit is the artist's increasing rapport with and involvement in advanced technology. Larry Bell's clear, untitled glass boxes, for example, gleam like mother-of-pearl, thanks to optical coating methods developed by industry technicians. Many other works were assembled by technicians from artists' instructions or, like the Samaras Corridor, built by museum craftsmen working from the artists' blueprints...
Night Light. Then Hoving delivered his master stroke. He presented renderings done by the Met's architects of a gargantuan, glistening 136-ft.-long glass case (or, as Hoving calls it, a "vitrine") that would extend westward into Central Park from the Met's north wing to house the temple. The showcase would be supported by selfsupporting, interlocking trusses that would be virtually invisible; the whole temple would be lit up at night so that its contents could be seen from afar by passers-by on Fifth Avenue...
