Often it was impossible to hear the Secretary speak over the shouting to roughly a third of the audience. Even before he rose to speak, the Law School professor who introduced him was at times drowned out. A balloon full of red liquid was thrown at Weinberger, who fortunately was not struck. Shouts of "murderer" and other insults were hurled at him throughout the hour and a quarter he was on stage. Through it all the Secretary attempted to give a standard speech on the Reagan Administration's approach to nuclear defense: simultaneous negotiations for arms reductions and modernization...

...from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California last January, the $250 million observatory, which was built jointly by the U.S. and The Netherlands, has completed four separate surveys of virtually the entire sky. During these sweeps, IRAS'S 22.4-in. mirror and electronic sensors, which are chilled by liquid helium to nearly 4° above absolute zero (-459.7° F) so that their own heat will not impede observations, picked up infrared emissions from more than 200,000 sources. Most of these celestial pinpoints are much too cool to have been recorded by conventional telescopes. Many are extremely...

I'm trying to sell it to the People's Republic of China. It's usable. It would fill the technical and scientific...
...abstract expressionism. But she was able to find a way of rapid gestural drawing that did not depend on the skeining and overlay of thrown paint from edge to edge that Pollock had perfected. It was the brush that counted for her, and when she did fling or dribble liquid pigment on the surface, it only looked like a mannerism. But her sense of drawing was so ingrained that she could cover a huge surface with notations that never palled: shifting tempo, direction, fatness of marks; she could (literally) paint up a storm. Works like Cobalt Night, 1962, or Charred...
