...Maoist brother and his conservative sister; his campaign for an education post is a dolorous exercise. But the conflict is set only superficially in political terms. Bellocchio wrote that the film was conceived in a geometric pattern, on parallel lines. The film's structure emphasizes the interconnections between layers rather than their contribution to an overall theme. The politicial layer lies nearest the surface, but it is little more than a hand-puppet to the film's sexual politics. It is oddly believable when Vittorio's aide Carlo, caught in the arms of a Countess by his lover, warns...
...should be able to join it, forming a double-stranded hybrid. He mixed minute amounts of both molecules and whirled them in a centrifuge for three days. Because the density of RNA is different from that of DNA, the strands gradually separated in the test tube, forming two distinct layers. To his delight there also appeared a third layer, which proved that a product of intermediate density-the combined RNA-DNA molecule-had indeed formed...
...smaller telescopes are considered among the best ever obtained. Less than 20 degrees north of the equator, the observatory can explore far more of the southern skies than most installations in the Northern Hemisphere. The site is also favored by an unusual local weather condition: a layer of warm air that on seven days out of ten traps obscuring clouds, pollution and precipitation several thousand feet below the summit...
...reports began to arrive from the northern departments. The seaport of Chimbote lay in ruins. The departmental capital of Huarás was practically destroyed. The beautiful resort city of Yungay, at the foot of towering Mount Huascarán, all but disappeared, like a modern Pompeii, beneath a layer of mud. When the government distributed an aerial photograph of the morass, the picture had to be labeled "Aqui estuvo Yungay" -Yungay was here. From the air, nothing was visible but the tops of four palm trees that had stood in the main square, the Plaza de Armas...
...flow into the Everglades. To the north, Walt Disney Productions is building a City of Tomorrow for 50,000 people that may cut off some of Orlando's water supply, since the site is atop porous soil that lets rainwater into Florida's vital aquifer. That underground layer of limestone stores much of the state's annual 57 inches of rainfall. Any significant damage to the aquifer could let salt water seep in from the sea and contaminate Florida's lush farm land...
