Cottell, 50, took out his first major patent 22 years ago on a device to break down and emulsify heavy liquids. His process is still widely used to prepare Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, cosmetics and paint. Five years ago he set out to design a more advanced machine, which would have enough force to rip apart single-cell organisms, releasing their protein to provide a cheap and plentiful food supplement. He built the Cottell Ultrasonic Reactor, which is hardly larger than a long loaf of bread and resembles an electric drill. The reactor is a mechanical torture chamber in which liquids...
Western criticism has borrowed some of its words from Chinese art, but paintings like these make one realize how the terms have suffered in transit. To speak, for instance, of the "calligraphy" of a Western artist-Pollock's dripped skeins of paint, or the brisk rhythmic jotting of a Rembrandt sketch -is to use a metaphor. In classical Chinese painting, it is not. The wen-jen used the same brush for painting and writing, the same ink, the same habits of mind. The distinction between word and image, which is one of the sharpest divisions in our culture, barely...
...prone to accidents that to derail it irrevocably--all very nicely de-mystified. It's the personality of Truffaut though, more than anything else, that makes Day for Night. You can't help but like him. No matter his conventional tastes, his whimsies and antis and fancy flights that paint the world as child's play. He's got an innocence that informs everything he touches--it can make the small things work wonders on the nerves, and the big things worth believing, occasionally...
...shines, approximately 1,700 reindeer are killed by cars each year, at a cost of about $170 each to the hapless owners of the beasts and hefty repair bills to the drivers. The Reindeer Grazers Association thought that it had the answer to the problem last year, when it painted some of the reindeer antlers with a phosphorescent paint that would shine in cars' headlights. So successful was the experiment that not one of the glowing reindeer was lost. One insoluble problem remained however: reindeer shed their antlers annually...
...favorite model, an inhabitant of the Deer Park (as the villa where the royal mistresses lived was called) known as la petite Morfil. Miss Murphy was an Irish girl whom the Pompadour pro cured for her flagging monarch by the utterly rococo device of getting Boucher to paint her as the Virgin Mary in a decoration for one of the royal chapels. She is the ancestor of all the midinettes and grisettes and rotund milkmaids that Renoir was to paint a century later...
