With the sole exception of Arosemena, the Presidents decided on a six-point attack...
...HEATING. When microwaves are focused into a narrow beam and directed at substances such as water, organic solvents and salt solutions, they cause them to heat almost instantaneously. Because the molecules of these substances are polarized-containing an uneven distribution of positive and negative charges-they align themselves with the direction of an electric field. Microwave fields reverse themselves rapidly; to keep up with them, the polarized molecules must oscillate constantly. This oscillation produces a rise in temperature. In a microwave oven, for example, the electric field completely permeates a potato, instantly heating the moisture in its center as well...
...progressed to more complicated "floral" patterns, then to what many admirers consider his most sophisticated works. These are known as Louis' "unfurleds": irregular zebra stripes placed in such a way that they seem to almost tear the canvas apart with their decisiveness.
