The awkward silence preceeding the applause after each number was a telling sign of the audience's confusion...
...curtain and say, 'Perform!' " Perform they did, often superbly, but Bell began to feel its image had become ossified. This season, the program has shucked its shawl and gone off in search of adventure -and in the process become one of the best series on TV.

It will shoot low-energy X rays at the ground, causing silver on the surface to fluoresce, and will measure the fluorescence on a scintillation counter. Senftle sees the baby snooper as the silver equivalent of the inexpensive Geiger counter, which leads uranium prospectors directly to their quarry...
