...replacement, Princess Elizabeth Bagaya, a former high-fashion model, was sacked two months ago on the trumped-up charge that she had made love to a white man in a rest room at Paris' Orly Airport. Last week Amin ordered Uganda's newspapers to publish an old photograph of her in the nude to prove, Amin said, that "she has plunged into an abyss of immorality." A fortnight ago, Finance Minister Emmanuel Wakhweya fled to London, explaining: "To live in Uganda today is hell...
...shared a penchant for scientific heresy. The rivalry had been building to an icy separation for years, with Freud at first uncritically embracing his bright new supporter, then burdening him with the administration of the International Psychoanalytic Association, and finally resenting even Jung's greater physical stature. In a photograph taken at the Weimar Congress in 1911. Freud at five foot seven seems taller than the six foot two Jung. He was standing on something...
...first defense bombshell fell at exactly noon on Friday when William P. Homans Jr. '41, the attorney in the dark blue suit, held exhibit ten, an 11-by-16 black-and-white photograph of operating room number two, up to the witness and asked him if the picture differed in any way from what the operating room looked like on that October morning.

...astronomical standards, that is an extremely short exposure; in photographs taken through a large reflecting telescope, it produces a curious effect. Pockets of atmospheric turbulence along the telescope's line of sight tend to break up the incoming light. As a result, the telescope's big mirror is, in effect, divided into a number of smaller lenses, somewhat like multiple lenses in the eye of a fly. Thus the photographic plate records not one sharp stellar image but many-from 100 to 500 for each photograph. Only with prolonged exposure do the separate points merge into the single...
...work anywhere else in the world. No country now produces corrosive lampoons equal to Patrick Oliphant's vaudeville sketches or Paul Conrad's acidulous critiques. The competition for attention may have reduced the impact of graphic art everywhere. Yet the cartoon seems to be gaining influence. No photograph damaged Lyndon Johnson so much as David Levine's waspish drawing of L.B. J. lifting his shirt to reveal a gall bladder scar-in the shape of Viet Nam. Richard Nixon once admitted, "I wouldn't start the morning by looking at Herblock." Even President Ford, gazing forlornly...
