...exchange with students, although Wisconsin Associate Geology Professor Louis Maher contends that "when you have 200 students in one group, you tend to lecture to the walls anyway." Extensive use of tape is likely to force professors to specialize more: one may become the stirring lecturer, another a skilled lab-type demonstrator, another an inspiring seminar leader. After years of academic pressure to get into college, many students resent being asked to sit in front of what they consider "an idiot box"-even if a genius is on the screen...
...local authorities impounded all local milk, and a tragic, but minor, episode seemed closed. It was not; Tijuana's children kept dying for no apparent cause. By week's end 17 youngsters were dead-and more than 300 others had been treated for poisoning at local hospitals. Lab tests turned up traces of a deadly pesticide called parathion in the tissues of victims, and the poison was soon traced to bread from their tables. Tijuana police closed all bakeries and other stores selling bread; sound trucks even warned against eating tortillas. The almost certain source of the poison...
Music on the Move. At the Quebec pavilion, for example, a series of almost blank abstractions-freestanding blocks representing water, forests, industry-is bathed in an electronic score, by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Staff Composer Gilles Tremblay, in which lab-produced whir, twitter and roar complement the visual suggestions. High overhead the individual sound tracks collide and coalesce into a contrapuntal aural landscape...
...which of their citizens should be classed as indigent or medically indigent and entitled to benefits. If a state wanted to tap the U.S. Treasury, it had to provide coverage for a minimum of five essential services-in-patient and out-patient hospital care, doctors' care, X rays, lab tests and nursing-home benefits. Optional frills included home health services, dental care, eyeglasses, drugs, physiotherapy, private-duty nursing, podiatry, hearing aids, chiropractic and even the services of naturopaths. When a plan was finally approved, the federal handout was scaled to the state's income level...
...crannies, because, explains Pei: "When scientist meets scientist on a corner, there should be an opportunity to pause and talk." At the moment, the talk is as likely as not to be about the new building. Some scientists have been heard to gripe that there is not enough lab space, but by and large the vote is strongly affirmative. Says J. Doyne Sartor, program scientist in cloud physics: "This building has a personality." Adds Electronics Engineer Raymond Chu: "Scientists or engineers will never be completely satisfied with any building. But this one is very exciting architecture...
