...With its laser machines, fights to the death and exotic homicides, Diamonds Are Forever is like a Looney Tune. A chaotic car chase through the streets of downtown Las Vegas is the funniest scene of its kind since Roadrunner last boinked the coyote...
...Classified exhibit). First, the road is cut at a point difficult to bypass, using highly accurate guided weapons. Laser-guided bombs have been performing most of this function...
Practical Reality. Gabor's holograms were crude because his beam of filtered green light was not intense enough to produce a clear image. But in 1963, after the invention of the laser made available powerful single-frequency light waves that were precisely in phase. University of Michigan Physicists Emmett Leith and Juris Uptanieks made Gabor's holography a practical reality. Already used in displays, material testing, medical diagnosis and computer memory banks, holography has potential for 3-D movies and, some day, for television...
Even with such sophisticated tools as strain gauges, laser beams and magnetometers to determine the buildup of dangerous stresses in the earth, scientists have had little success in forecasting major earthquakes. But as they have attempted to develop more complex quake-prediction devices, they may have been overlooking a simple one that predates man. A U.S. Government scientist reports that nature itself may provide a primitive early-warning system in the periodic eruptions of spectacular geysers like Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful...
Rockne Krebs' laser room is a sharper affair: intense beams of red, green and blue light slice through the darkness, rebounding from concealed mirrors to form an intricate lattice that almost abolishes any sense of bodily space. Indeed, one of the general effects of the "A. and T." show is to shift the focus from art as object to art as environmental sensation. The visitor is always being encompassed -by gas lighting or lasers or, in the case of Tony Smith's piece, by several thousand cardboard tetrahedrons and octahedrons supplied by the Container Corp. of America.
