...have eased, little else has noticeably changed since the riots. Not only are most of Watts's pillaeed stores still closed, but the slum is still without a single restaurant, bowling alley, roller rink or movie theater (the nearest cinema is a 60?, four-mile round-trip bus ride away). Men loll in clusters on front porches drinking Colt .45 beer. When a white man passes, a lanky teen-ager taunts him: "Better not be here at 5. That's when the riot's gonna start all over again." A police car drives...
...approach. Yet he is strikingly successful. His hallmark is a jumpy, free-association style of editing, and The Knack is made up of very short scenes like blackout sketches and several longer set pieces (such as the already-famous one in which Colin, Tom, and Nancy push, paddle, and ride a Victorian wrought-iron bed through London).

And since so many other drugs dissolve readily in DMSO, they can hitch a ride with it and quickly penetrate the horny (outer) layers of the skin, thus reaching hitherto inaccessible areas...
...branched into laser technology, produces the powerful gas lasers used in tracking missiles. For the U.S. space program, it makes the instruments that align the Saturn and Centaur guidance systems, the infra-red sensors that monitor carbon dioxide inside the Apollo spacecraft, and the cameras that photograph-and sometimes ride on-the rockets launched from Cape Kennedy. Its balloon-borne telescopes analyzed the atmosphere and climate of Mars long before Mariner spacecraft ever got near that planet...
...acre ranch. The Sentinel, near San Patricio in southern New Mexico. There he raises Brangus cattle and Thoroughbred horses, and has an apple orchard that produces in commercial quantity. The ranch is really an avocation ("Luckily, it's not my livelihood"), and Peter at times starts out to ride the range with his foreman and fails to get where he is heading because he stops to sketch scenes that particularly catch his eye. During the sittings for the cover painting (the background shows Shuman's farm in Illinois), artist and subject found a lot of farm topics...
