Nine manufacturers have submitted ingenious proposals for doing the job. The Martin design utilizes hot engine gases flowing past a V-shaped tail to keep the tail high even at 28 m.p.h.

They start moving, and most of them eventually touch a grain of silver halide in the nearest light-sensitive layer. If that grain has been exposed to light, it is ready for action. It grabs the developer end of the molecule, holds it tight, and uses...

Last week, in a showdown in the sunny capital of Dakar, Senghor shucked his old friend...
