Prostrate Continent. Despite disappointment, despite the continually worsening arthritis that cruelly contorted his gangling 6-ft. 4½-in. frame and made him dependent on metal crutches or a wheelchair, Christian Herter was not one for retirement. When he died at 71 of a pulmonary embolism in his Washington home, he was still striving for international agreement-this time to lower tariffs-as the President's Special Representative for Trade Negotiations. That effort, too, proved endlessly frustrating...
Knickers & Miniskirts. The skiing explosion that began in the 1950s feeds on improvements in equipment and clothing that make skiing easier and skiers better-looking. The simple combination of metal skis and stretch pants was what did it. Now there are some 3,500,000 active skiers in the U.S., spending more than $750 million a year (an average $214 per skier) on their sport...
...rays called muons. Actually sub atomic particles traveling close to the speed of light, some of the muons will be energetic enough to penetrate the dense structure of the pyramid and pass through the spark chamber, a device consisting of two horizontal pairs of oppositely charged metal plates. Be cause the muon leaves a wake of ionized gas, which conducts electricity, a spark will jump between each pair of plates along the path of the particle...
...Mitchell Foundation gift of $600,000. Two other foundations are meeting soon to consider additional grants. One is headed by John E. Meyer, who suffered an eye wound as a fighter pilot in World War II, and periodically goes to Dr. Callahan to have long-hidden metal fragments removed...
Bronze, plaster and marble, when they turn up, seem quaintly Victorian amid the outcroppings of anodized aluminum, vinyl and Plexiglas. Sheet metal is everywhere; one piece, Ernest Trova's Large Landscape, weighs about three tons. Most of the newcomers (50 of the artists were making their debuts at the Whitney annual) are addicts of "minimal art," sculpture that is stripped to unemotive zigzags. Ronald Bladen, 48, contributes an empty 8-ft. by 8-ft. by 16-ft. white plywood box, tilted up from the floor. The box is empty and the work is untitled. Ellsworth Kelly, 43, otherwise...
