...found again in working on the story about the luminists. They are very serious about their seemingly playful work, and their background is apt to be broader-or at any rate more technical-than that of the traditional artist. Their experience includes such far-away fields as nuclear physics, optics and electronics. "They are of the technical age," says Piri Halasz, who wrote the story, "but they remain artists primarily." Researcher Leah Gordon found Nuclear Engineer Earl Reiback's projection technology so complicated that she brought along Science Researcher Sydnor Vanderschmidt to help her interview...
...emotion; luminal art, though radiantly handsome, generally does neither. Pop played a role in making commercial techniques acceptable. Peter Myer, 32, constructed Transit Orb out of cello phane designs and polarized plastic filters, which are more commonly used for sunglasses. Manhattan's Earl Reiback, 31, a onetime nuclear engineer, even has fun in taking an object-one of six different nudes-and then modulating the image into total abstraction. To accomplish this, he built his Luminage Projector from two standard Buhl "Carrousel" projectors, altering their machinery so that a full complement of 160 slides would modulate gradually, "sensuously...

Because the pitch of their protest made it seem that Hanoi was innocent of any aggressive role in the war, even the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy refused to take part, though SANE Co-Chairman Dr. Benjamin Spock spoke at the New York demonstration...
...have ever wondered why men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses, McLuhan again comes to the rescue. He knows why girls wear patterned or mesh stockings, why Germans make better nuclear physicists than Americans, why an American is repulsed when a foreigner carries on a conversation only three inches from the American's face, why there is such widespread distaste for the war in Vietnam, why some Arabs wear alarm clocks in their turbans to gain status...
...National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy, 23,000 strong, split over the Mobilization. It never endorsed the demonstration although Dr. Benjamin Spock, SANE co-chairman, was a Mobilization leader and many SANE members marched. It is understood that SANE withheld official endorsement because some members found the Spring Mobilization too one-sided in laying blame for the war--almost all on Washington...
