This pattern gave Dr. Wynne his clue. Individuals in a family may show few or no outward signs of illness, but if their statements do not mesh rationally with one another's, the result is a "cognitive chaos" for the developing child, most sensitive between ages two and four. From a tape recording, he quoted a revealing example...
...summer of 1960, Dr. Constantine and his crew moved into one of these noisome spots, the Frio Cave in southern Texas. While rabid bats flew overhead spraying them with urine, they slogged into the cave carrying wire-mesh cages containing dogs, domestic cats, raccoons, ringtail cats (a raccoon-like animal of the Southwest), coyotes, grey foxes and one striped skunk. The animals were fed and tended carefully for one week, then removed and isolated. One fox, two coyotes and one ringtail cat died of rabies...
Tall, white-haired Tunner, 55, now a Virginia gentleman farmer, ran the Allied airlift over the hump between India and China in World War II, went on to mesh U.S., French and British aircraft into the effective lift that broke the Red blockade of Berlin, and after that to direct the Korean war air supply shuttle between Japan and Korea...
...Prevent Frying. The army is spending $75 million on Kwajalein, and the island already looks like the set for a science-fiction movie. Close to the coral beach, a circular, steel-mesh fence, 65 ft. high and 680 ft. in diameter, surrounds a rotating, triangular radar antenna, 80 ft. on a side. This electronic monster is named ZAR (Zeus Acquisition Radar), and when it sends its pulses into space to probe for incoming missiles, the fence will act as a shield to keep the powerful radio waves from frying all Kwajalein. Crewmen operating ZAR will go to work through...
Like many abstract painters, Bertoia sees the universe as one great cup of energy. He is fascinated by the thought of "particles shooting through space," and the spiky mesh shown in color is his conception of the "track of these particles." Each wire had to be pulled separately through molten brass to give it a rough-textured coat. As wire after wire was welded into place, each tended to lose its identity. "The line," says Bertoia, "finally disappears and becomes a diffusion." In a sense, the sculpture has no beginning and no end. Though the particle tracks shoot...
