...unique relationship between light and space embodied by neon. As Millonzi points out, "Light as sculptural mass can create forms that contain space and light instead of displacing it." Millonzi's work is a carefully balanced contrast between aluminum and flashing neon; first the angular volume of the metal dominates and then the spreading light. Antonakos' sculpture is more complex, with colored fluorescent tubes flashing through a number of different time sequences. The sketches show how the timing is programmed and reveal the way the sculpture was planned to relate to its surroundings. Here the creative process merges with craftsmanship...
...installing them would be literally astronomical. Any rockets launched from the moon would be in transit to the earth for more than 30 hours, ample time for them to be detected, identified and destroyed by an anti-missile system. As for the moon's economic potential, any metal or mineral found there would have to be priceless beyond anything on earth to make it worth exploiting. Some experts figure that the cost of shipping material back to the earth could run to roughly $500,000 an ounce...
...final sculpture, Hartmann explained, would be placed before the city's Palais de Justice, or courthouse. For a year Picasso ruminated, finally painted the first sketch on plywood. Then, working with twisted cardboard, which his assistant translated into pieces of metal and assembled, Picasso developed two versions, one light and delicate, the other roughhewn. Not until May 1965 did Picasso bring the two together, announce: "This...
...death. And there is one more effect that interests Dr. Gilfillan most of all: enough lead can cause sterility in men, miscarriages and stillbirths among women. The Romans, says Gilfillan, especially the upper classes, knew little of lead's dangers, and they ingested more than enough of the metal to make trouble a certainty. Not only did Pliny the Elder counsel that "leaden and not bronze pots should be used," but lead was also important in the manufacture of water pipes, cups, sieves, cosmetics, external medicines, paint, and, ironically, coffins...
...almost all '67 models, dual brakes, collapsible steering columns, four-way flashers and extra padding are standard. Even beyond these, most new cars feature safety items that are either standard or optional. >General Motors cars have plastic caps over window-crank handles to soften the gouging action of metal under impact. Pontiac is introducing windshield wipers that, when not in use, retract into the engine cowl to allow the driver unobstructed vision. Many G.M. cars have a dashboard light that, when the brakes fail, winks like a slot machine. >Ford has made standard a "seatbelt reminder light" that flashes...
