...view, they had: What more vivid image of the punishment of English hubris could he have asked for? All Turner is in his view of the conflagration: it is the essence of his delight in elemental conflict-fire raging in the clear mirror of water, its ruddy glow drifting west across a night sky cool as china...
...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...
