...built into a single chip of silicon. Westinghouse starts with a sheet of silicon eight one-thousandths of an inch thick and about the diameter of a quarter. On top of this, an even thinner layer of extra-pure silicon is deposited by evaporation and covered with photosensitive masking material. The mask is removed in patterns, allowing successive parts of the silicon to be exposed to vapors, such as boron, that change its electrical properties. Some of the tiny areas become built-in transistors; others become diodes, capacitors or resistors. Then a pattern of conducting material is plated over...
...their own. Until we remove the tyranny of the forced option from their lives, we cannot pretend that our system makes equal opportunity possible. Until then, both the words 'free' and 'equal,' instead of declaring what Herbert Croly once called 'the promise of American life,' will remain a mask for privilege." Sanford A. Lakoff Assistant Professor of Government
...Local Habitation. Cheever's art deals less with what is called character and idiosyncrasy than with archetypes: father, son, brother, husband, wife, lover, seen in situations so intensely felt as to claim universality. His people move like characters in classic drama; the actors wear their fixed masks and are not expected to change one mask for another in the course of the action. Over the formal masks are fitted others modeled in the naturalistic detail required by the conventions of realism. He is able to give to the abstract personalia of this theater a local habitation and a name...
...FISH, which are increasingly difficult to find among the wakes of powerboats, are now indicated by Aqua-Ear, an underwater sonic system that tells the fisherman where to cut off the engine. And the underwater swimmer, after years of face masks that cut vision from 180° to 75° and made the prettiest girl look like a sea monster, can now buy a new kind of contact lens: a tiny mask made of shatterproof plastic that covers the entire eyeball. Invented by Washington, D.C., Optometrist Alan Grant and Navy Captain Edward Beckman, the new lenses cost $175 a pair...
...Continued its consistent play through most of the second period, forcing Sweitser to use even his face mask to held them scoreless. Harvard finally scrambled its way back into the game at 19:13 when Badly Smith knocked in a loose puck in front of Terrier goalie John Ferreira. Linemates Barry Treadwell and Billy Lamarche assisted...
