...licenses in half of the states, including New York and California. Says Joseph Buckley, who heads the Chicago office of John E. Reid and Associates, one of the nation's leading testing firms: "Like an X ray, a polygraph records data that take a lot of expertise to interpret. In the wrong hands, it's worse than nothing...

...being ... 'Looking' became an act of devotion." Thus American landscape and its contents, the effects of light, weather, distance and time, were seen as the unedited manuscript of God. He had written his designs in great detail, and left his hierophants-scientist and painter -to decipher and interpret them.
