...Mother in her guest appearance in Atlanta, everyone seemed to forget another notable lady in art, who was peacefully tending her needlework in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, where she has been a stay-at-home for five years. She was Whistler's Mother-in-Law, a postcard-sized pen-and-wash drawing of Mrs. John Birnie Philip, whom James McNeill Whistler always respectfully called...
...TINY TV. The most hypnotically popular item to be introduced in many months is a tiny TV set with a screen smaller than a postcard (4½ in. by 3½ in.). Made by Japan's Sony, Micro-TV produces a snapshot-clear picture, weighs only 8 Ibs., and can operate on house current, a rechargeable battery pack, or-in states where the law allows it-on the juice from an auto cigarette lighter socket. One of Micro-TV's neatest features is its view-ability at less than arm's length on office desk or bedside...
...process takes its name from the initial letters of Linz and Donawitz, two picture-postcard Austrian towns where the technique was first developed ten years ago.

Of these oversized miniatures Boh rod says: "It just takes a small brush...
...winding miles later, having logged temperatures from near freezing to as high as 132° Fahrenheit and altitudes of up to 12,000 ft., Gaisseau and his radio engineer, Herve de Maigret. staggered out to the mocking serenity of the Hollandia coast and an orange-tinted postcard sunset among swaying palm fronds. Five of the explorers, including the photographers (Gaisseau had to take over the camera), had dropped out, some of them being rescued by helicopter. Three of the native bearers were dead, 30 men were ill with dysentery and malaria. But their heroic physical ordeal had been a journey...
