...says a top Republican strategist about what Gerald Ford would-and would not-do if he is elected. Since Ford has portrayed himself throughout the campaign as the champion of limited Government, he would interpret a victory as proof that the people want Washington to play a diminished role in their lives, and he would surely be emboldened to fight even harder for his policies of restraint...
...color of the murals is part of the vocabulary used to interpret the action. (Not capture it, as in a photograph, but interpret it, as in calligraphy.) Color is laid on to create space here, not just light. The red of a coat isn't only conveying the contours of the coat or its texture and brightness, but, in a much bolder use of color, pushes into existance the space in which the coat stands, and implies the distance between this red coat and the next green robe. The Western artist who approached this use of color most closely, before...
...Buddhism. Renunciation, enlightened motive and a correct understanding of sunyata (nothingness) are the three prerequisites for the tantric practice, he explained. Disciples were given two reeds to sleep on, one under the pillow, the other under the mattress, and instructed to remember their dreams so the Dalai Lama could interpret them during the ceremony. On the platform were two ever present reminders of tantric practice: a statue of Kay-Dor, a ferocious manifestation of the Buddha, and an elaborate mandala, a ritual design used in invocations, made out of ground precious stones and sand...
Military and civilian courts immediately began applying the amnesty, and by week's end some 100 prisoners had been freed. How many more will win release depends on how individual judges interpret the decree's terms. The amnesty is considerably broader than a limited pardon granted by Juan Carlos last December, when more than 600 political prisoners and thousands of common criminals were set free (although their convictions remain on the record). By specifically excluding people convicted of violent crimes, the amnesty fails to benefit some 200 prisoners, most of them Basques, who were jailed under last year...
Sunlike Stars. Because of the complexity of the experiments and the time needed to interpret data at J.P.L., at least several weeks will pass before any definitive results of these life-seeking tests are known. If all of Viking 1's tests -and those done later by Viking 2 -prove negative, the question of life on Mars will remain unresolved; the landers may simply be in the wrong places, or organisms may be thriving just a few inches below the deepest excavation of the sampler. Or Martian bugs may simply have chemistry so different from that of terrestrial life...
