...trimmed with farolitos, votive candles burning on a bed of sand in small paper bags, that offer a warming gleam against the dark. Olympia, Wash., launched a gaudy annual contraption called Christmas Island, assembled from Army pontoon bridges and anchored offshore with a forest of lights and a life-size Nativity scene. Denver's stately City and County Building is a blinking, electrified gingerbread house as multicolored as a jukebox. Not to be outdone, Austin sports a 165-ft.-tall, man-made metal tree shining out over a Santa's Village of shops in a turn...
...happy to have found good cause for my death and do not want to beg for my life. Give me the capital punishment but show mercy to the others." For Kim Jae Kyu, former Korean Central Intelligence Agency chief accused of murdering President Park Chung Hee last Oct. 26, the words were a defiant attempt to assume total responsibility for the assassination, for which six accomplices were also charged. His plea was in vain. Last week Kim, standing haggard and unshaven before a military tribunal in Seoul, was condemned to death with six others for his abortive coup attempt, which...
Gideon's estranged wife and current lover (played by the quicksilver dancers Leland Palmer and Ann Reinking) are virtually undisguised portraits of Gwen Verdon and the real-life Reinking. The hero's artistic associates are scabrous caricatures of past Fosse collaborators. Through a series of gritty backstage scenes and razor-sharp dance numbers, these players dramatize all the tensions, hard work and neuroses of idiosyncratic, inveterate show people. In Jazz's spectacular opening sequence, a Broadway audition, Fosse even creates his own capsule version of A Chorus Line...
...third -the strong force (which binds the atomic nucleus together)-they and other researchers determined that such unity requires a net loss of baryons when certain particles collide. In other words, the proton must decay into lighter subatomic fragments. By most physicists' reckonings, protons have a mean life of around 10,000 billion billion billion (10³-²) years (more than half of them will disintegrate in that time). Thus out of 10³-² protons, only one is likely to decay each year. The problem: how to detect that rare disintegration...
Sheen started life over his father's hardware store in El Paso, 111. (pop. 2,550), near Peoria. He was a debate champion in college and earned a doctorate at Louvain University in Belgium. Before TV stardom he was a renowned philosophy professor at Catholic University of America, and a pioneer radio preacher whose programs drew 6,000 letters a day. He wrote more than 50 books (among them God and Intelligence, Peace of Soul, Three to Get Married), and was almost as famous for person-to-person conversions as for oratory. Among his worldly converts: Louis Budenz, managing...
