...harp. In every photograph on exhibit--from a mystical photogravure protrait of Yeats to a study of shadows in gum-biochromate by Edward Steichen--the artist/photographer has deliberately chosen a technique that combines with and supports the visual effect he tries to achieve. This exquisite co-ordination of method and result is not Lady Eastlake's "unreasoning power," it is an expression of the great skill of the artist...

...addition to changing his subject matter, the photographer, having gained more competence and confidence, has experimented with the mechanical processes of photography. He has learned both to add and to elaborate on the basic method to increase the power of his images. In the photogravure I mentioned earlier, for example, the mysticism in the background comes almost accidentally from the developing procedure. But Ron McNeil, in his 1970 "Tinker's Child," extends this interaction of subject matter and technique. By hand wiping his etched plate before printing it, McNeil strengthens the mystical streaks into strong forms that echo the haunting...

FIREPLACES: Wood-burning fireplaces are no bargain. For one thing, the price of a dozen logs is now as much as $6. This charming but primitive heating method is grossly inefficient and can cause stiff necks. If a homeowner is lucky enough to have a hearth with a good draft, the chimney will draw off as much as 20% of the heated air in the house...

...proved that electrical shock could stop ventricular fibrillation-an often-fatal uncoordinated fluttering of the heart's pumping muscles. Kouwenhoven went on to develop the techniques: opening the chest, placing electrodes directly on the heart, and applying a brief jolt of electricity. Later, while experimenting with a nonsurgical method that involved placing the electrodes on the chest, he noticed that pressing down on the chest increased the patient's blood pressure. That observation led him to develop the revolutionary heart-starting technique known as CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation. CPR consists of hard pressure on the lower breastbone...

...second major concern is with method. What questions would a "Theology of Liberation" ask? What norms would it adhere to? First of all, primary importance goes to people, not to texts. To interpret a religion one must interpret people, their actions, expressions and goals. And in interpreting religion, the radical theologian forms judgments and takes sides with the oppressed and against the exploiter. Cox embodies the crucial distinction between what a radical theologian might be and what sociologists of religion (and most everything else) traditionally have been. In asserting his commitment to certain values and concerns, Cox has made...
