...conventional TV sets, a beam of electrons originates in the stem of the tube and sweeps rapidly to and fro across the tube face. Its intensity is controlled by the signal from the TV station. As the beam hits dots of phosphorescent material in the tube face, they glow with a brightness proportional to the strength of the beam. This rapid action produces at least 25 still pictures per second on the screen, creating the illusion of moving images. In the new Westinghouse system, the images are also formed by producing glowing dots on the phosphorescent surface of the screen...

...pattern in which there are 14,400 points of intersection. At each intersection, there are two transistors and one capacitor. If a signal is sent to a particular intersection, the components there will light up the layer of phosphorescent material immediately above them. That creates a dot that can glow with varying intensity. If a number of intersections are triggered simultaneously, an image is formed. In their current prototype, the Westinghouse engineers form images by using an external switching device to feed signals to the appropriate intersections. But they are already working on an integrated switching device that could...

Maybe he milked a few extra votes for Jake Garn in Utah, pulling him into the Senate. It could be that the big black woman he swung round the dance floor in Portland translated the warm glow into some kind of G.O.P. vote. He might have picked up a jock or two in Portland's Coliseum. Then again he might have lost a million times that many ballots for the Grand Old Party by reminding people that he gave the pardon to Richard Nixon, by airlifting the presidential extravaganza all over the country while sugar...

...much easier for you To pass an elephant through a needle's eye, Or catch fried fish in a galaxy, Plough the sea, Force a crocodile to speak Than to destroy by persecution The shimmering glow of a belief, Or check our march, One single step...

...romantic, on the other hand, after coming out of the theater, will blink in the glow of the streetlight's as he slowly comes to realize that no, he is not in Africa, not France nor the Pacific Northwest. Cambridge at the moment is distasteful to him, and, as he sits in a cafe sipping his espresso, the future becomes not further education nor a steady profession, but a series of places where a political struggle remains to be won, where a woman waits to be conquered, where a challenging task awaits the man equal...
