...have occurred in just about everything except its basic technology. The weapon was conceived as a counter to the new generation of Soviet missiles whose accuracy rendered the silo-based U.S. Minuteman increasingly vulnerable. But the MX until 1983 was a missile in search of a home, or basing mode. In an effort to make it "survivable," or impervious to a Soviet first strike, Pentagon planners studied at least 37 basing ideas, including one that would have kept the MX arsenal permanently airborne and another that would have shunted 200 missiles in and out of 4,600 shelters along underground...
...terms. The Paris modernists --Jarry, Apollinaire, Picasso, Delaunay, Brancusi--hailed his work because of its fierce, astringent poetry, but also because it seemed to have predicted their own conscious concerns: the interest in popular art like the prints known as images d'Epinal, the invented exoticism, the mode of composition in flat planes, but above all the ideal of the untutored eye unobstructed by academic culture, registering the world with the clarity, as the cliche used to run, "of a child or a savage."

As participants in Citystep, a program that brings undergraduate dancers into four Cambridge public schools to teach children to dance, these children are learning not just teamwork but also a new mode of communication--movement...
Ginsberg: My main interest was art for art's sake, purely literary. But literary means a lot of different things. There is an old saying by Plato or Pythagoras, "when the mode of the music changes the walls of the city shake." Or, what [William Carlos] Williams said, "the new world is only a new mind." Or, Blake: "the eye altering, alters all." When there is a new perception in poetry and a change of the form, it generally means a change of body rhythm, a change in thinking about language, and a change in consciousness itself. And this...
