...monitoring the most carefully planned alibis, N.A.A. can be as revealing as a photograph of the actual crime. N.A.A. can link suspects to incredibly small bits of physical evidence, such as the infinitesimal traces of gunpowder left on the hand of someone who has fired a gun. N.A.A. helped to win a Canadian murder conviction in 1959 by matching the accused's hair with tiny hair samples found on the victim. The first such U.S. conviction occurred last winter in a New York federal court, which accepted N.A.A. evidence as proof that the soil found on a truck hauling...
Housed in a compact building near Boulogne, France, a row of 10-ft.-high steel cylinders feeds high-voltage electricity into cables that cross under the English Channel to link the power networks of two nations. The same sort of tubes will soon be at work in New Zealand and Japan, and the U.S. Department of the Interior hopes to hook them to a pair of 750,000-volt lines more than 800 miles long that will carry surplus hydroelectric power from the Pacific Northwest to consumers in California and Arizona...
...metropolitan area. A 454-acre midtown tract of slums called Mill Creek Valley, filled with slum housing that cried out for rebuilding in 1954, is now one of the largest urban-renewal areas in the U.S. A substantial section of it will be set aside for an expressway to link downtown with the major expressways leading out of the city. The long neglected riverfront has been cleared for the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park; scheduled for completion there next year is a soaring stainless-steel arch 630 ft. high, designed by the late Eero Saarinen as a monument...
...Macy's of Australia is a seven-story sandstone department store that sprawls over two blocks in the heart of Melbourne. The Myer Emporium is Australia's top store, the world's sixth largest, and the major link in the biggest retailing chain below the equator. More than 1,250,000 customers a week pour through its doors and onto its 54 elevators and 32 escalators, and thousands more shop at its 27 branches, which are placed in every state except Western Australia. Myer's has no equivalent of Gimbels to keep it on its toes...
What begins as a subliminal feeling at Kassel gradually forces its way to consciousness: the sense of a unifying modern vision and temper that link seemingly disparate and dissonant works of art. The bewildering array of influences and counterinfluences in contemporary art, from the School of Paris to the New York School, from abstract expressionism to symbolic African primitivism, from the revival of art nouveau to the revival of Dadaism, all seem to call for a Rosetta stone, a hieroglyphic key to release meaning from mystery. Dokumenta III comes close to being that Rosetta stone...
