COLLABORATION: THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET WITH LAURINDO ALMEIDA (Atlantic). The M.J.Q. and the Brazilian guitarist seem meant for each other, like gin and vermouth. Not that they are intoxicating; their colors are muted, their moods refined, their rhythms subtle. They can swing, but seldom do. In Bach's A Minor Fugue they demonstrate delicate counterpoint, and in the Adagio from the Concierto de Aranjuez they conjure up a lavender twilight as the guitar gently punctures the lingering ring of the vibraharp...
Blake's chief immediately got on the phone to Wilmington and won approval for a new, expanded lab budget. Five researchers explored more than 6,000 detailed technical references before concluding that "Blake's Effect" really meant a fresh and important development: a film that directly produces a positive image, doing away with the traditional steps of making a negative and printing a positive. When the specially coated film is exposed to light, certain parts of its emulsion are broken down in a process so mysterious that scientists themselves are a bit baffled. The film can then...

The smallest, which fits on a rifle or can be used as a hand telescope" weighs only 51 lbs., including its 6-volt batteries.

Through their wide-angle lenses, a commander can keep track of the stumbling confusion of a night battle. He can see his own forces along with the enemy...
...CRIMSON of Friday, November 14, you printed two pictures of a girl meant for 3-D viewing. Now in the first place, our copy of the paper did not have the 3-D glasses that were needed to see the 3-D effect. In fact not a single girl in our dorm had the required glasses in her paper, whereas we know of boys in Eliot, Winthrop, and Adams who had their 3-D glasses. This leads us to suspect that you had a shortage of glasses, and simply decided to give them to Harvard and not Radcliffe. We protest...
