...CRTS glow eerily at U.P.I, headquarters in New York and at ten A.P. regional "hubs" across the U.S. When correspondents' stories reach these central offices, they are now fed directly into computers. Seated next to their CRTS, wire-service editors can order the computer to display on-screen a list of all stories filed during the previous 24 hours. Another command can call up the text of a story, which is then seen on the screen in segments of up to 31 lines at a time. As the editor electronically rolls the story forward, he can maneuver a lighted...
...over a game of cards and little girls hop in unison over their skipping ropes. Canton's mood is relaxed, visibly so in the curious but friendly glances foreigners get, or in the newly repainted names of stores: MOON BEAM FRUIT STORE and EASTERN SEA HERBAL MEDICINES now glow in soft pastels where only a few years ago there were strident slogans in gaudy...
...conductor-generally metallic objects-within about 200 ft. of the lines. In addition, the field ionizes the air (ordinarily a good insulator) surrounding the lines, turning it into a fairly good conductor of electricity. That allows some of the current in the lines to leak off, creating a blue glow around the wires. This happens especially at points where the lines have a flaw (a faulty section of wire, a minor scratch, a coating of soot or pollen) and in damp weather, when air becomes a better conductor. The result: high-tension experiences for everyone in the vicinity...
...like Alice in Wonderland grown to womanhood. That was one reason why Jacqueline du Pré emerged as the darling of worldwide concert audiences while still in her early 20s. Another was the graceful and eloquently soulful way she played her cumbersome instrument. Her tone had an auburn glow, her phrasing a masculine power, and her programming showed an equal devotion to old favorites (the Schumann and Saint-Saëns concertos) and interesting esoterica (the Delius concerto). She quickly took a place among the two or three finest cellists in the world...
...darkness falls, the skyline of Portland, Ore., takes on an eerie cast, as if the city of 390,000 were deserted. Along the downtown streets, the familiar glow of neon signs is missing. Against the horizon, the 30-story Georgia-Pacific Building and 40-story First National Bank Tower loom like abandoned hulks, their silhouettes illuminated only by a meager handful of office lights and the winking red beacons that warn aircraft that the buildings still stand...
