Degas did not invent the monotype, but he used it and developed it to a far greater extent than any artist before him, and possibly since him. Briefly, it is a process in which greasy ink is applied to a plate and wiped away with rags and/or blunt and sharp instruments (dark field manner), or one in which one draws with the ink on the plate (light field manner). The paper is then run through a press with the plate. But unlike the output of other graphic media, only a few impressions at most are obtainable. Also unlike most other...
Twelve years have passed, and though Youngerman has undoubtedly seen as much Manhattan smog as blinding sunlight in that time, he has progressed steadily toward realizing his Middle East-inspired ideals of clarity and voluptuousness in paint. The measure of his success may be taken from the 45 ink-and-acrylic paintings that go on view at Washington's Phillips gallery this week (see color opposite). His forms are abstract; but as the artist points out, the Arab also gilds his mosques and minarets with nonrepresentational decoration. Over the years, Youngerman has consistently enlarged, unloosed and simplified...

So try this one; answer the question with a five-minute story (just imagine it), and see if you've got any of the five hang-ups listed upside down below. (This test for males...
...Kahn, an ex-reporter, has produced an astonishingly thorough study. He deals not only with the codebreakers but also with the codemakers and nearly everyone of any consequence who has ever used codes-or seriously thought about them. As he guides the reader through the difficulties of steganography (invisible ink, microdots), monalphabetics (simple, one-alphabet systems, such as the one described in the box, next page), and polyalphabetics (many alphabets used in the same cipher message), Kahn keeps his subject lively and even dramatic. He describes, for example, how cryptology helped get the U.S. into one world war- and helped...
...sales force. The payoff has been handsome. A compact, relatively low-cost ($985) machine, the Super-Stat has caught on where the company's earlier dry-process copiers foundered. Last week Rautbord announced record 1967 sales of $35,618,000. Even more important was the black ink-a profit...
