...group of editors in a dining room on the 47th floor of the TIME and LIFE Building. The artist was enchanted with the view of Manhattan, particularly the bright mosaics of neatly parked automobiles on the roofs below. "Très Chagall," he said, and wished he could paint them right then and there. Instead he ultimately agreed to do a self-portrait for the cover...
...NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS links suspects to incredibly small bits of physical evidence that defy conventional chemical or spectroscopic analysis. Tiny flecks of paint from a jimmied door may turn out to be crucial when found on a burglar's clothing, simply because atomic particles emit specific radiation patterns when properly stimulated in a nuclear reactor. The patterns are projected on an oscilloscope screen, and if those from the burglar match those from the door, he might as well plead guilty. Developed by General Dynamics Corp.'s General Atomic Division, N.A.A. has already won convictions in Canada, New York...
...ungovernable desire. Colin wants to get The knack. He's just a mild-mannered, horny school-teacher who'd be satisfied with one of Tolen's girls. So when Nancy arrives, Colin decides to make his feeble play, with some help from Tom, a crazy Irishman who must paint everything white.

The results were often warm and whimsical. Windows and archways open onto rocky landscapes typical of the region. His Saviour is not the emaciated, sublimely anguished figure...
...eats into rock, prepares it to become new soil. The molds that make Camembert are fungi; so are the yeasts that leaven bread and ferment grapes, grains, berries, cacti, honey and camel's milk into alcohol. Yeasts keep industry in ferment as well, assist in the manufacture of paint remover, antifreeze, synthetic rubber, adhesives, cosmetics and perfume. Yeast-feeding produces better pelts in mink, more honey from bees, faster growth in trout...
