...related to the mortals who view them and use them. Wright, a short man, managed to give grandeur to a chair or a room or a house without intimidating us with its size. Nor does Prairie School ornament appear in the self-conscious manner in which post-modernists now glue or paint it on their designs. Wright and the Prairie School's precise geometric decorations-the leading on the glass, the pattern of brick and wood panels and curtains, the carvings of wood or stone-all seem organic, as much part of the object as the markings...
Indeed, the batterer is often afflicted with mind-bending insecurity. The man's wife, says Psychologist Walker, is "the emotional glue that holds him together." As a consequence, he is desperately afraid of losing her. "All the time I knew she was going to leave me," says William, the Atlanta birthday-party batterer. "She liked to play the song Slip Away, and I knew she was going to do it." Explains Dick Bathrick, a clinical psychologist who with a colleague runs the only program for wife abusers in Georgia: "The husband is trying to make her be closer...
...standard model also postulates that the universe is controlled by four basic forces: gravity, the glue that holds the cosmos together; electromagnetism, which keeps electrons from breaking away from the rest of the atom; the strong force, which holds together the atomic nucleus; and the weak force, which controls the gradual disintegration of some nuclei, the process at work in radioactivity...
...press conference immediately afterward in Coblenz, Luis-Ferdinand Werner, who had supervised chemical analysis on the paper, cover, bindings, labels and glue used in three of the seven volumes submitted by Stern, said flatly that the diaries were "obvious fakes." Beside him, Federal Archives President Hans Booms, who characterized the forgeries as "grotesque" and "superficial," contended that much of the contents had been plagiarized from a book, Hitler's Speeches and Proclamations 1932-45, written in 1962 by a former Nazi Federal Archivist, Max Domarus. Booms dated the production of the forgeries as about...
...fair chance to examine the documents, evidence of any but the most crafty forgery would be swiftly found. But this fabrication, the German scientists discovered, was astonishingly inept. Chemical analysis of the binding showed that it contained polyester threads, which were not produced until after World War II. The glue used on the book labels also contained postwar chemicals. The same typewriter had been used on all labels on the volumes. It was a 1925 machine, all right, but close inspection of a label ostensibly typed in 1943 showed no wear on the keys since a label typed...
