...attitude can be unsettling to those who assume that even the best reactors must be treated with respect. At the Kurchatov, for example, scientists seemed blissfully unconcerned as visiting journalists leaned against flimsy railings to gaze down into an open experimental pool reactor and marvel at the blue radiation glow that emanated from its fuel rods. While the radiation itself was under water and posed no hazard, a dropped camera or notebook, not to mention a reporter who might have fallen into the pool, could have contaminated the reactor and forced its shutdown...
From British-born Robert Massy, a dropout physicist now at California's non conformist University of the Trees, the skeptic is flattered to learn that he has a yellow aura - "a sign of intellect." A friend is told that she has a pinkish glow, which means that she loves people. Archetypal Dowser MacLean, who still works as a chemical engineer in Portland, claims he can divine the arrival of oil tankers even when they are still far beyond the horizon. He adds: "Doesn't make any difference how far the object is if you have the power." California...
Rarely had Cyrus Vance been so ebullient. In the hours after his Boeing 707 took off from Washington for the Middle East last week, the Secretary of State was still basking in the glow of the Camp David summit.

Last week, almost exactly two thousand years later, the temple so built stood beneath a gleaming, towering, glassy pavilion newly erected at the north end of Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art overlooking Central Park. Dendur's ancient stones glow softly orange as it stands on a wide granite platform skirted by a moat of lapping water, designed to evoke its old site on the west bank of the Nile. Even the rocky escarpment against which it stood has been simulated. The huge skylight and glass north wall set off its looming 26-ft.-high gateway and the squat bulk...
...apocalypse has taken over Fenway Park. With the cutting 45 degree elements shedding a weird glow to this summer sport, fans sipped hot chocolate and pressed their ears to transistor radios straining to hear the outcome of the ever-more-important ball games in New York. New York went on to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 behind Ron Guidry's 24th win, and not surprisingly, the tight defensive play of the Red Sox didn't cheer anyone up. They are still second best. And there are three games left in the season...
