The chip contains some 36,000 electronic components-"probably the world's largest integrated circuit," says Physicist T. Peter Brody, head of the research team...
...Among Soviet dissidents, however, his arguments are certain to enliven a debate about the nation's future. Solzhenitsyn and his circle reject the argument that truly significant change can come only from within the Communist system.

Painting was to him a method of inquiry into the world's structure; it was the empiricism of sight itself. He tended to regard it as the queen of the sciences. His scientific work (on water, wind and their catastrophic powers, for instance) was presented in drawings of ravishing subtlety. Their purely descriptive intent in no way affects their aesthetic power...
