...municipal criminal court hundreds of decisions are made to drop some cases without prosecution, to accept pleas of guilty in other cases in return for relatively lenient sentences or probation, and to prosecute a few cases to the limit. While we are all warmed by the glow of Perry Mason's courtroom brilliance, it is, in fact, this informal and invisible negotiating and adjusting process -- and even more invisible police decision on whether to arrest in the first place -- that constitutes the great bulk of the administration of justice in this country. There are virtually no rules or guidelines governing...
...their creation merely exposes their absurdity. In general, the poorer sculptures are simplistic works with sententious justifications. Dan Flavin, for instance, exhibits two parallel neon tubes, one yellow-gold, the other blue. The explanation? "Here will be the basic counting marks (primitive abstractions) restated long in the daylight glow of common fluorescent tubes. Such an elemental system becomes possible (ironic) from the context of the previous work." Such an elemental system is also possible in most light fixtures. Italo Scanga, on the other hand, is interested in "polite art." His sculptures are groupings of identical cylinders meant to be hung...
...Ross Thatcher may fairly accurately boast that his province not only grows the wheat that feeds the world, but also mines the potash that grows the wheat that feeds the world. At Esterhazy, the 3,200-ft.-deep corridors of a new $60 million International Minerals & Chemical Corp. mine glow in strobe lights, as drilling machines shear out the pink ore for export to Europe and Asia. Eleven more potash mines are in prospect...
Politics of Expiation. Yet there it is. In part, it reflects the persistence of the legend surrounding J.F.K.; time seems to enhance rather than diminish the glow of his martyrdom. To the almost 200 Kennedy books, two more were added in recent weeks by exPress Secretary Pierre Salinger and a former J.F.K. buddy, Paul Fay; a "definitive" account of the assassination by William Manchester is scheduled for publication early next year...
When the comet Ikeya-Seki curved around the sun last October, many a stargazer's camera was focused on its fiery trail. But two California Institute of Technology researchers were deter mined to record far more than mere surface glow. And the Astrophysical Journal last week reported remarkable success. Eric Becklin, a graduate student in physics, and James Westphal, a senior research fellow in planetary science, not only obtained the first temperature measurements ever made of a comet, they also gained valuable insight into a comet's composition and behavior...
