...whispered message filtered into the PRC transceiver: "Four seven, this is Papa Two. I'm in trouble. This is Papa Two . . ." No reply. The triple-tiered jungle canopy drowned his call to the pickup helicopter. Brown moved his men soundlessly across the clearing and set up a radial defense-each man flat on his back, head to the center of the circle, his M-16 ready-behind a tangle of fallen trees...
Directors are undertaking instead a sort of radial reorganization of experience in which the elements of a story occur in no necessary order and the sense of succession subsides in the illusion of a permanent present. Fantasy heightens reality. Cause and effect are denied, and in the more extreme experiments such as in Last Year at Marienbad, a fundamental reorientation in time and space takes shape. Even as it strives to entertain, the new cinema is part of the broad cultural movement of an age that is searching for a contemporary redefinition of man's place in the universe...
This week in Kansas City, Goodyear also will begin test marketing "radial-ply" tires, which have been popular in Europe for years, but are new to the U.S. Normally the layers of cord in a tire are set at 30° angles to one another, forming a diamond pattern around the wheel, but in a radial tire the cords are at 90° angles, forming a pattern of crosses. With this structure, the faster a car goes, the more tread is slapped onto the ground. The result is better road grip and up to 100% longer tread life-but also...
...common abnormalities. A single deep crease, instead of two separated lines, from the base of the index finger to the base of the pinkie is known as a "simian line" (see diagram). It occurs with many disorders including mongolism and some rubella (German measles) defects. Also unusual is a radial loop pattern pointing toward the thumb in the ridges of any finger other than the index...
...together as possible around a central sphere, he found that instead of forming a still bigger sphere, they made a 14-faced polyhedron-six of the facets in the form of squares, and eight as triangles. Fuller called this figure a vector equilibrium because the outward thrust of its radial vectors is balanced by the restraining force of its circumferential vectors...
