Rarely in history has public opinion reacted so spontaneously and with such fury. In Detroit, Mayor Jerome Cavanaugh and Michigan's Governor George Romney led a protest parade of 10,000 people. In Chicago, demonstrators blocked rush-hour traffic in the Loop. Nearly 2,000 people marched in Toronto, 1,000 in Union, N.J., 1,000 in Washington. In California and Wisconsin, in Connecticut and New York, citizens streamed onto the streets to express their rage...
...starting a clean-up on movie advertisements [Feb. 12] should lead other movie producers to be as smart as Walt Disney and present family entertainment. Mary Poppins got me into the Chicago State-Lake Theater, and that was the first time in ten years I had been to the Loop for a movie. After you read the sexy advertisements for the movies, all desire to attend one dissolves. For years people on the Academy Award show have halfheartedly jested about movies dying. They are not really dying-they are committing suicide...
...Defense Is Ready. From its 19-story, stainless-steel headquarters in Chicago's Loop, Inland is run by another highly concentrated facility of a sort: Chairman Joseph Block, 62, whose grandfather founded the company in 1893. A pipe-smoking intellectual who surrounds himself and his colleagues with modern art, Block angered competitors in 1962 by holding the price line during the steel crisis. Although he recently came out for steel price rises now, Block is realistic enough to admit that "I don't think there is much likelihood of an across-the-board increase any time soon...
...bius loop can be made by cutting a harrow strip of paper and gluing its ends together after giving the strip a half-turn. The loop that results has peculiar qualities. Most important, though the paper it is made of has two sides, the loop itself has only one surface. This can be proved by drawing a pencil line down the middle of the strip. The pencil line covers both sides of the paper and returns to the starting point without the strip's being turned over. When cut along the pencil line, the paper forms not two loops...
Double Passage. Davis made a Möbius loop out of a strip of nonconducting plastic that had metal foil bonded to both sides to serve as an electrical resistance. He attached wires to the foil on opposite sides of the strip. When he sent electrical pulses through those wires, the current divided, flowed in both directions through the foil, and passed itself twice. Because of the double passage, the inductance was as low as Davis had hoped. He is delighted but still puzzled. The pulses apparently pass right through themselves, and he cannot be sure...
