Despite the outward calm, the staffs of the three leaders have been busily working over the issues and options in the Middle East and preparing position papers for their bosses. By week's end Carter had received two black loose-leaf notebooks from his team of experts. They outlined, among other things, what would be "acceptable minimum" and "practical maximum" results on a wide range of problems. Begin's staff, meanwhile, had given him a pale blue folder titled "Possibilities and Recommendations," containing 70 pages of charts, documents and official statements on the Arab-Israeli conflict. And Sadat had been...
Astronomers now realize that the life history of a star is essentially a tug-of-war between two powerful competing forces. On the one hand, there is the great outward pressure on the star's gases created by radiation and heat from its internal fires. On the other, there is the inward pull of the star's gravity. In a star like the sun, the battle between radiation and gravity is long stalemated; the sun has been shining for some 5 billion years and will remain relatively unchanged for another 5 billion. After the star exhausts most of the hydrogen...
...black hole, how significant would that discovery be? For one thing, proof of the existence of black holes would clear away some of the mystery about both the evolution and the fate of the universe. Scientists generally agree that the universe is expanding, that its galaxies are still rushing outward from the original Big Bang. But they are uncertain about whether the expansion will continue forever. True, gravitational attraction among the galaxies is slowing the outward rush, but unless there is sufficient mass in the universe, the expansion will never completely halt...
...respect Evans feels for his subjects; neither people nor objects are manipulated or abused. Diane Arbus clearly shares this same respect in her portraits of New York city eccentrics. In the portrait "Teenage Couple on Hudson Street, N.Y., 1963," the people face the camera with little fear and outward emotion. This attitude unquestionably derives from previous Evans portraits. His people always show an awareness of the camera and of being photographed; the union of this cognizance and the deliberateness of his framing reveals the care with which he treats his subjects. Arbus' photographs, by the nature of her material, exhibit...
...lack of outward emotion in Evans' photographs becomes increasingly apparent when compared to the posed quality of Arbus' work. It appears that she must have agreed with the subjects beforehand that they remain emotionless in order to calm down their already screaming irregularity. Their faces look as if they are literally repressing the emotions they feel. Evans' subjects, however, appear as if they have come to their emotionless states purely by chance; it is as if he has caught them in a single moment before or after something has happened.
