...Harvard's biological laboratories last September, Porter's current research uses a new $40,000 electron microscope. The shadow picture produced by introducing the cell specimen into a beam of electrons has a resolution of one fifty-millionth of an inch. Porter in 1945 made the first electron microscope photograph of a cell...
Most Paris dress designers belong to the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture, which is French for "No photographs of zee newest fashions may be publeeshed unteel one month aftair les showeeings à Paree."

A Summer to Remember includes its quota of trite sequences, but for the most part it uses inspired...
...front pages have been attractive, the make-up has not been consistently good. Occasional inside pages present the unrelieved gray of long banks of type, without pictures, charts, or anything else to encourage the reader. When the National Observer uses pictures, it uses them well; the page-long photograph of the Saturn rocket on the front of the first issue is striking, as is a huge shot of the Matterhorn in the second. But there still remain long stretches of unbroken type, which simply will not be read...
