...Ford, was made 40 years ago by a Bell Labs scientist named Karl Jansky. In contrast, the new German instrument is a model of engineering sophistication. The entire telescope can be rotated a full 360° on a circular railroad-type track in only nine minutes. Its plate-and-mesh reflector can be tilted 90° from a point directly overhead to the horizon in only half that time. Furthermore, the telescope has been so meticulously designed that the stresses caused by such movements deform its reflector by no more than about four-hundredths of an inch, an important factor...
...still beautiful and sexually appealing." To that end, Madonna's star design for fall is a long, black jersey dress ($50). Just over the area where the stomach protrudes, there is a circular cutout into which any one of three discs-two patterned and one plain black mesh-can be snapped. The black disc, recommended for evening wear, includes a strategically positioned rhinestone guaranteed to be the center of attraction...
...SPFC meeting during which evening-jacketed bourgeois folk turn on for the first time. But there is so little control over the film that even these go wrong: Henry often becomes a cipher; the SPFC scene is both cruel and whimsical in a mix that doesn't mesh; and I even may be mistaken about the purpose of the songs the girls were singing: I am told that one of them, Tom Eyen's "Ode to a Screw," passes for chic these days...
...Friends had me convinced that 1 had a gear or two out of mesh when I developed a strong interest in motorcycles. Robert Hughes did a fine job of explaining what happened...
Faint Signals. Russian scientists had redesigned the Venera spacecraft to withstand pressures of 150 earth atmospheres and temperatures in excess of 1000° F. They also redesigned their parachute (probably made of steel mesh) to enable Venera to descend more rapidly to the surface. To allow for the higher landing velocity, they incorporated a shock-absorbing landing gear...
