Characteristically, Huebler's systems of documentation move toward the dematerialization of art. No longer important, the art object is replaced by ideas. Process replaces medium as the aesthetic consideration. Photos are meant to clarify the appearance of an event, not to fashion a visual experience. The camera duplicates rather than makes aesthetic decisions...
...most extensive aerial searches in Alaska's history. More than 70 airplanes and a sophisticated SR-71, the Air Force's highly developed reconnaissance plane, combed the majestically mountainous area and scanned the waters of Prince William Sound seeking traces of the six-passenger craft. The principal object of the search was House Majority Leader Hale Boggs, 58, who was in Alaska campaigning for Congressman Nick Begich.

Foucault accepts the possibility that his vocabulary, style, and method may fade away, or that they may become the victims of the proven propensity of social science to make itself its own object. He knows that the full importance of a discourse can only be grasped in contrast to the changes that precede and follow it. What can be said now is that if Foucault's subsequent work is as brilliant and innovative as his work so far, then The Archaeology of Knowledge...
