Sometimes Degas takes this fascination with linear tension produced by common movements a bit too far, though. In "The Bow," he leaves his subject in such a low-squatting curtsey, her right leg extended stiffly like a dancing cossack, that given one brief moment brought to life, she seems sure to capsize and fracture her coccyx...
More support for Glashow's work came in 1974 with the discovery of the J or psi particle at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The particle was eventually interpreted as a combination of a charmed quark (c) and a charmed anti-quark (c*). But final confirmation came in May 1976, when the Stanford team, led by Gerson Goldhaber, found incontrovertible evidence that charmed particles exist...
...dozen patients participating in a promising new program for fighting advanced cancer of the mouth, upper respiratory system, cervix, brain, pancreas and other areas that until recently have been virtually untreatable. Fermilab's weapon is a beam of high-energy neutrons produced by its linear accelerator. Directed against certain tumors, the neutrons can be more effective than the X rays normally used in cancer therapy. Their advantage lies in the combination of their mass (they are heavy by subatomic standards) and high energy, which makes them ideal "cue balls" in a kind of atomic billiard game: penetrating deep into...
...says Boren. "I've studied Carter, and I think he has great potential if he will just listen. If he does not, he will be residuated* into oblivion. Carter must understand that in this city we cut red tape lengthwise. He should know the difference between vertical and linear mumbling (a mumble can never be quoted). After all, bureaucrats are the only people in the world who can say absolutely nothing and mean...
...calligraphy of these paintings perserves its message over ages and oceans. Ezra Pound contended one could (almost) see poetry written in Chinese without reading it. Unquestionably, the calligraphic linear activity of the paintings expresses birdness or horseness with no need for translation into the more familiar vocabulary of realism...
