...three exhibiting potters, members of the Radcliffe Pottery Studio, exhibit wide variety in their glazing techniques. David Pribnow characteristically uses matte glazes of different colored slips (liquid clays), which he paints on meticulously in geometrical patterns.

The Cryonics Society of New York is peddling a unique form of insurance against terminal disease: in the event of death caused by fatal illness, your body can be frozen, suspended in a capsule of liquid nitrogen and buried in the hope (no matter how far-fetched) that some day you can be thawed back to life by some future "miracle of science." As an added bonus you will receive "postsuspension counseling (for survivors presumably) on future developments...
