...could with different brush strokes on oil, tempera or water color. Like the painter, the photographer produces these results with varied techniques and the Fogg exhibit investigates them. Here we have a chance to see and compare the daguerreotype and the calotype, photogravure and gum-biochromate; platinum, palladium and cyanotype. I don't know the chemistry or history behind all these processes, but in this exhibit ignorance is not a hindrance to understanding. The photographs--with their similarities and contrasts--make all the necessary explanations of style...
...PHOTOGRAPHER can be inventive in two ways; in the scene he records, and in the manner he records it. In the 134 years since the invention of photography, the photographer has changed what he photographs. In a 1914 palladium print of a beach scene, the photographer has showing off his medium and his process's capacity for detail by cramming as many bathing-beauties and sand castles and rotting rowboats into the scene as possible. But in a 1972 print of the same technique, the photographer no longer shows off, he studies. In this case it is nature that...
...Stewart's goals during a tour stop in Los Angeles last month was to throw a party for his fans in the Hollywood Palladium after his concert there. "Just with the kids that paid to see me.

You need to be with your own kind-nice big, important people. Your kind of people." Rod darling turned away, half in frustration, half in anger...
...reciprocating engine, Riccardo insists, Chrysler could probably meet the California standards without using catalytic converters. Thus, he contends, the U.S. could achieve cleaner air without substantial increases in the price of cars and without sacrificing fuel economy; the plan would also make unnecessary the mass purchases of platinum and palladium, and construction of new refining facilities. Furthermore, one more year's production of cars with emissions that have already been significantly reduced would not noticeably degrade air quality. Sensible as Riccardo's proposal sounds, however, changing the provisions of the Clean Air Act would require fast congressional action...
Died. Valentine Charles Parnell, 78, "Britain's No. 1 Showman" and longtime impresario of the London Palladium; in London. The son of a vaudeville ventriloquist, Parnell rose from office boy in a theatrical booking agency to become director of 400 theaters and music halls. To the Palladium he brought modern microphones and high-priced U.S. stars, both new to music-hall audiences, and soon turned the old moviehouse into one of the world's eminent stages...
