...PAINTING of a crucifixion Mirko uses a frigid yellow -- a moon yellow. With many black, downward curves to suggest mourners, and sharp linear arrows for Roman spears, pain and sickness hit a viewer immediately. Only then does he read the cross, the helmets or the realistic skull which Mirko makes the clue, the "bridge to reality." (Although sculpture is his main passion, Mirko does paint, draw and work in monotypes because each media has its own expressive quality. To investigate the "contemporary fourth dimension," like Picasso, Braque, and others before him, he painted musical instruments from many sides...
...help you attain enlightenment is the point of this supplement. To help you, and to warn you of the obstacles facing serious seekers after truth. For not only does our false linear cause and effect way of thinking promote illusion, but people are actively trying to keep you from becoming one with the universe. They try to use you for their own ends, to control you. They use machines to run your life (pg.2). They use newspapers to promote false ways of thinking (pg.3 and the front page of today's Crimson). They have ads to make you do what...
...stations where their batteries could be recharged. The floor of Caltech's minibus was covered with 20 lead-cobalt batteries, on top of which were pads where off-duty drivers slept. M.I.T.'s team borrowed a set of $20,000 nickel-cadmium batteries. Characteristically, the engineers used linear equations to work out a handicap system...
Welding Retinas. Taking advantage of the unerring straightness and narrow diameter of laser beams, engineers are already using them to keep bridges, tunnels and dams in line during construction. Laser light has also proved helpful in aligning jet-plane assembly operations and the two-mile-long Stanford linear accelerator. When the high energy of laser light is concentrated on a small area, it serves as a high-speed drill that can burn precision holes through materials as hard as diamonds in a small fraction of the time required by conventional methods. It can vaporize the rough edges of such microscopically...
...flashes an instant message to the computer. Many drivers end in catastrophe after a skid because they freeze on the brake pedal instead of pumping it rapidly and repeatedly while steering their way out of the spin. The computer will do the proper pumping for them in the auto-linear system. With one impulse it takes control of the brakes away from the brake pedal; with another it applies its own braking at the rate of 35 to 40 pumps per second. When the skid is over and the wheels are rolling again, the system automatically returns braking control...
