Last week, after Glatman pleaded guilty and waived a jury trial, grim-faced Judge John Hewicker studied the photographs and other evidence, sentenced the photographer to San Quentin's gas chamber. Said the court: "There are some crimes so revolting that the only proper punishment is the death penalty." Said unconcerned Shutterbug Glatman: "I think my actions justify that.

...circular sail of thin plastic coated with shiny aluminum. If the satellite is spinning, the sail would spread itself by centrifugal force. Another method would be to construct a sail with inflatable tubes connected by fragile membranes on the model of an insect's wing. At the proper moment, plastic foam would be injected into the hollow tubes, distending them and spreading the sail. Later, the foam would harden to act as supporting ribs...

...taking a first-year psychology course need never face a flesh-and-blood lecturer, and 1,099 students in freshman algebra and English courses are film-fed most of the time. Their education is largely seen to by a woman worker in a central control room, who feeds the proper reels into the correct machines, and a faculty-member monitor, who patrols four TV theaters at a time, sees that sets work right and that classes do not become disorderly. Students with questions to ask may make appointments with instructors...
