...When Harvard was on the power play, Vaillancourt would set up near the blueline, where she would wait with uncanny patience and laser a pass through traffic to an open teammate that only someone with her vision could...
...course, black is like a mask," says Lacroix, who calls this shift in sensibility a new minimalism. "The new pureness of lines centered on cut rather than decoration, the laser geometry of shapes and silhouettes are all maybe signs of a graphic protection linked unconsciously to recession, just like at the end of the '80s." Like Lacroix, Ghesquière was channeling a more austere sensibility in his Balenciaga collection, which, he said, was inspired by film noir, specifically the actress Simone Signoret's hard-edged look in the 1955 movie Les Diaboliques...
...deploy ABM systems or components which are seabased, air-based, space-based, or mobile-land-based." The Administration says that merely undertaking research into such a project does not violate the treaty. Indeed, the Soviets have been spending perhaps as much as five times the U.S. amount on laser technologies and weapons, although they apparently have not developed such devices for knocking out missiles. Over the past decade, the U.S. has tested lasers against relatively slow-flying drones and antitank missiles. The results were mixed, but good enough to show the concept's potential...
...desire for intensive political impact rather than a careful consideration of the subject. The most important ramifications that the Administration has yet to address fully may be geopolitical rather than technological. What course will the Soviets take in response? Moscow, which has a lead in many applications of laser technology, seems unlikely to refrain from exploiting it. If both nations follow parallel roads into space, a new balance of forces could emerge. The President hopes that an emphasis on defensive weapons could be linked to a negotiated reduction in offensive missiles. But the Administration has not even begun to work...
...defenses. The satellites could also be vulnerable. "Many potential counters, such as decoys or space mines, have the power to neutralize space-based systems," says Stanford University Physicist and Arms Control Expert Sidney Drell. His colleague Arthur Schawlow, who won the Nobel Prize for his work on developing the laser, agrees: "A laser battle station out in space would be a sitting duck...
