...adhering to military strategy, nor even by waiting to give up to the Gestapo or the enemy, depending upon who comes first. Rather it is saved when Alois rangs up the white skins of the rabbits he has been ordered to kill, which accidentally act as truce flags. Slaughtering pure-bred animals creates a confusion in his mind between the theory of German racism and the practice of the gas chambers and starts him on the path to mental collapse. Although Walser occasionally lapses into stereotypes (e.g. the officious German scientist) and occasionally the symbolic brew of Germans, Jews, rabbits...
...photographer said he was more interested in glamour, elegance and social position than he was in pure beauty. And on those counts, Lee Radziwill, 30, handily qualified for Philippe Halsman's gallery of eight of Europe's loveliest women, which appeared in Paris Match. Winding up his six-week study of the ladies, he found Lee in her London home, popped her into a Castillo evening gown and clicked away. "She has an extremely interesting and beautiful face," he said afterward. But presumably not all that fascinating to the editors of McCall's, who had eleven months...
Pandas & Tigers. It would seem obvious that Mao Tse-tung has enough trouble at home without looking for it abroad. The Great Leap Forward, launched with such fanfare in 1958, was intended to bring quick success in 1) building a pure Communist state, and 2) making China over into a first-class world power. Instead, the Leap's frenzied mobilization of peasants into communes, the setting up of backyard blast furnaces, and the 24-hour-a-day speedup...
...remarkable potential of lasers (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) nurtures many a heady scientific dream. Pure, one-color laser light can be focused down to a microscopic point, hot enough to burn through any material. It can make superaccurate measurements, and properly modulated, it can carry vast amounts of information. It may some day take the place of wires in the innards of computers. But all these promising applications are blocked at present by the built-in problems of existing lasers. Some of them demand costly and cumbersome power supplies; some give light of the wrong wave lengths...
...cube of silicon carbide (carborundum), 4Two opposite sides are carefully polished, and electrodes are attached to antfcher two. When a weak direct current of electricity is passed through the cube, a thin line in its center glows with green-blue light. But this is not pure laser light. It is merely ordinary mixed-up light of varying frequencies. When the current passes a critical strength (120 amp. per sq. cm.), though, the light brightens enormously, turns intense blue, and forms an undiverging beam like a tight-stretched thread...
