...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...
...Panofsky, who learned to deal in large figures as head of Stanford's $100 million linear accelerator, believes that lavish funds expended on high-energy physics, which pries into the inner nature of matter, and on cosmology, which tries to understand the universe, will pay higher eventual returns than any applied research. "We cannot afford to be ignorant," he says, "of the most fundamental type of structure on which everything else depends...
...second level would be in constructing a mathematics based course in General Education suitable for those with four years of secondary school mathematics, but viewed as a terminal course. This would provide limited work in analytic geometry, elementary calculus, probability, linear equations and linear programming...
Among patients treated at some ma jor medical centers with massive doses of radiation, the "fiveyear cure rate" is much higher. At Palo Alto, Radiologist Kaplan's team gives huge doses of radiation from a linear accelerator. Two out of three of their patients live five years or longer, and they are "dying at the same rate as the general population," said Dr. Kaplan...
