...Molten Light. Rembrandt's early popularity among his countrymen (who were to spurn the full flowering of his genius) was solidly rooted in the artistic techniques of both Italy and northern Europe. His early teacher in Leiden had studied in Italy, there learned Caravaggio's trick of sharply contrasting light and shadow, to make light itself the most dramatic element in the picture. Rembrandt's painting, Jeremiah Lamenting the Destruction of Jerusalem, done when the artist was only 24, already shows both Rembrandt's love of Biblical subjects and the virtuoso control of light that gives...
...massive furnaces were banked, the brilliant flashes of light that mark the pouring of molten steel disappeared from the night sky over Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Gary, and many another steel town. In the Pittsburgh borough of Homestead, hard by the home of giant U.S. Steel Corp., only a few lonely figures moved along the strangely deserted streets. In Manhattan, businesslike industry and union negotiators stuffed papers into briefcases and headed for home...

When a fragment had the right shape to keep it from tumbling as it moved through the air, the molten glass that was wiped off the forward end frequently solidified as "wings" or an "apron" attached to the rear end. The glass that was melted can often be distinguished from the rest by microscopic examination...

The concerto moved in a strong, surging series of climaxes, without concession to showiness or chic. For all its uncompromising musical headwork, Sessions' concerto had a lyric calm...
...crushing mill and smelter. Across the rugged hills more workers laid out a 4,200-ft. landing strip, a new highway, a 30-mile, $7,500,000 railroad to the Southern Pacific's spur at Hayden. Last week, six months ahead of schedule, the first trickle of molten copper came out of the huge San Manuel smelter...
