He said that the U.S. was now using five, ten, and fifteen thousand ton bombs in Laos, "bombs that literally vibrate people to death even when they take refuge in caves and tunnels...
...biological revolution could make some of the choices easier. In the future, defective genes may be excised by pinpoint laser beams and replaced by viruses acting as man's genetic messengers in the body. Anguished man may also find his mental burdens lightened, as he turns to anti-aggression and knowledge pills, or learns to stimulate his brain's pleasure centers with electrodes...
Some molecular biologists envisage using laser beams to slice through DNA molecules at desired points, burning out faulty genes. These would then be replaced by segments of DNA tailored in the test tube to emulate a properly functioning gene and introduced into the body as artificial?and beneficial?viruses...
...frontier of the American musical theater is wherever Harold Prince and Stephen Sondheim are. Last season, the producer-director and composer-lyricist collaborated on Company, which focused a diamond-cutting laser beam on marriage, Manhattan-style. With Follies, Prince and Sondheim, together with Choreographer and Co-Director Michael Bennett, have audaciously staked out some unknown territory. They have put together the first Proustian musical-an act of dramatic creation even more daring than making a Proustian film (see CINEMA...
...battle cut-rate imports better by increasing its productive efficiency than by raising its protective barriers. Last week Genesco, Inc. and Hughes Aircraft showed off a jointly developed machine that may help U.S. clothing makers to compete. The machine, which looks like a miniature steel rolling mill, maneuvers a laser beam over cloth to cut garments according to computer-determined patterns. It acts with speed, accuracy and a flexibility that human cutters cannot match. It can cut a man's sport coat, a woman's skirt and a child's pair of shorts consecutively from the same...
