...technological prowess of IBM, Western Electric and the scrappy, innovative chipmakers of Silicon Valley makes it almost certain that the U.S. will be able to hold its own in the semiconductor contest. The possible applications of chips are limitless, and the potential market is so vast that there will be room for vigorous semiconductor industries in both the U.S. and Japan. The Japanese challenge will help spur American chipmakers to even greater technological achievement. -By Charles Alexander. Reported by Dick Thompson/San Francisco and Frederick Ungeheuer/New York
...lawyer who is also a chocolate addict [July 12], I was intrigued by Anthropologist Jennie Keith's suggestion that chocolate may be used to get someone in your power. If this is true, the possibilities are limitless.

...taken a bucketful of liquid white clay full in the face, like a vaudevillian copping a pie; a disembodied brown finger wipes the gunk away from his right eye socket. Arneson's mocking self-monuments are carried through with vast gusto and panache, and his technical resources seem limitless; besides, his formal ambitions are clear enough, below the funky surface. Even so, his work has a way of wandering off into a pointless anecdotalism, as with his tabletop sculpture of a tract home he once lived in, entitled-in a maladroit homage to Giacometti-The Palace...
