...threat, says Fields, "you bring out the guided missiles." These are antibodies -- produced by B cells upon the order of helper T cells -- that are custom-designed to home in on certain antigens, distinctively shaped proteins that characterize a particular type of virus, and destroy the enemy or render it harmless...
...demonic vision would condone the perpetuation of the nuclear arms race ad infinitum. But only fools, or perhaps Neville Chamberlains, would succumb to the temptation to suddenly and completely change the political and military landscape without considering the possible consequences.

Tomorrow, however, they would face the uncharted and perhaps equally perilous challenges of a nuclear world without nuclear superpowers...
...prepare for deployment. Gorbachev's insistence in Iceland that testing not proceed on the one comprehensive defense system currently being researched by the U.S. is unacceptable, because the gap between laboratory research and actual deployment would certainly be great enough to allow the Soviets or a crazed dictator to render this nation completely helpless...
Arms control is one way -- perhaps the most efficient way -- to effect that change. The American Strategic Defense Initiative disturbs the General Secretary not because it would render nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete, as Reagan puts it, but because the effort to build their own Star Wars system could strain the Soviets' treasury...

On it, there are two possibilities. The first is to try to render the movement of the object itself, as the futurists did with their racing cars, or the cartoonist does with his speed lines. Mostly this results in illustrations, straightforward or disguised. The second, and by far more subtle, is to suggest the movement of the artist's eye as it scans and scrutinizes...
