Even among nations that use the same weights and linear measures, agreements on standardization are still difficult. Perhaps the most bizarre search for a common standard was started in Strasbourg, France, by a panel of Common Market experts who are facing a sweet problem: how much chocolate should go into a common chocolate...
...There is simply nothing to be discarded in China today." Still, considerable and important progress has been made. Production of fertilizer, oil and farm tools is up. Textile output, which brings in much of Peking's foreign exchange, has been largely recovered, is expected to total 4.5 billion linear meters this year...
...mile tunnel that slices through the rolling countryside behind Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., was built for one purpose only: to house a linear accelerator with a beam of 20-billion-volt electrons that might knock stubborn secrets out of atomic nuclei. The accelerator is not yet complete, but its construction has already led to a striking discovery in the unexpected field of paleontology. A bulldozer digging a trench at the end of the tunnel veered a few feet from its guideline and uncovered a ponderous and peculiar skeleton...
...brought constructivism full cycle. Now on view in Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art and London's Robert Fraser Gallery, his sculptures are shiny and symmetrical, linear and still-functionless art objects that seem to invite the viewer to turn them...
...though it were mostly an exercise in practical physics. He grips his 16-ft. Silaflex pole as near the end as possible, uses a long, 140-ft. approach to gain the velocity necessary to give "a maximum bend at the vertical position. I'm trying to translate linear force into vertical force," he says, and he is hard at work on an essay entitled "Compound Pendulum Mechanics of Pole Vaulting...
