...make a thought an object. A thought flying around like electrons in the atmosphere of the brain suddenly coalesces into an object on the page (or computer screen). But when written in longhand, the word is a differently and more personally styled object than when it is arrayed in linear file, each R like every other R. It is not an art form, God knows, in Toad script, not Japanese calligraphy. Printed (typed) words march in uniform, standardized, cloned shapes done by assembly line. But now, thought Toad, as I write this down in pencil, the words look like ragtag...
Both Titania and Oberon, each some 1,000 miles in diameter, have huge, distinctive features. Voyager spotted a three-mile-high mountain on Oberon and a valley running all the way across the visible surface of Titania. On the moon Ariel, 730 miles across, three linear patterns seemed to resemble the tracks left by terrestrial glaciers. Only Umbriel, 740 miles in diameter and covered with overlapping meteorite craters but with few other features, seems to have been largely unaffected by Uranian gravity--for reasons scientists cannot explain...
Representative Steven A. Nussbaum '86, who saidthat he was "overjoyed" at the result of thereferendum, said that he did not believe that theresults of the referendum would have an immediateor linear impact on tomorrow's election forcouncil officers. "I don't think that the electionresults [will] necessarily correlate one-to-one toreferendum results," he said...
...plans to make the best use possible of its 165,000 linear feet of storage space. Books will be kept in trays on the six-foot-deep shelves which both increase the storage space of the facility and "protect materials from the abrasion that often results from shifting volumes on a shelving surface," one library official says...
...accelerator would generate energies of 40 trillion electron volts, in contrast to the 640 billion electron volts produced by CERN's SPPS accelerator. More impressive still, it would produce collisions 20 times as powerful as the generation of big machines now under construction at CERN, Fermilab and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Whizzing past each other, the SSC's two opposing beams, consisting of closely packed bunches of about 10 billion protons each, would complete about 3,000 laps a second. In four to six places around the ring, the beams would intersect, producing up to 100 million collisions...
