...below ground, in a salt mine under Lake Erie, in the Kamioka lead and zinc mine in Japan, in the Mont Blanc Tunnel linking Italy and France, and in another tunnel under Mount Elbrus in the Soviet Union, scientists carefully examined data from computer printouts. They were hoping that some of the ethereal particles called neutrinos, predicted by theory to be produced during a supernova, had penetrated the earth, leaving their trail in huge liquid- filled neutrino detectors. Astrophysicist J. Craig Wheeler, of the University of Texas in Austin, summarized the activity while addressing a hastily convened meeting of astronomers...
Anyone flying across the country is surprised by how much free, unpopulated land remains between the crowded clusters in the middle and on the two coasts. People in Great Falls, Mont., can look out their windows and see 60 miles to the start of the Rockies, blue-purple in the south. The mountains glow orange in New Mexico.

Its masters speak both to and from his Nicois canvases. The hushed green density of Large Landscape, Mont Alban, 1918, is an amalgam of Courbet and Corot, though the slow, wristy drawing that drives the eye round the curve of the road and follows the slant of the windblown pines is entirely Matisse's own. The modulation of silvery grays (jug of water, belly of sole) with a few touches...
