...sense of style is Coward's one great creation, looming behind all his smaller ones and investing them with special effervescence. This is what John Osborne meant when he said that Coward "is his own invention and contribution to this century." This is what makes it idle to scan the man or his works for the "real" Noel Coward. The mask of supreme entertainer has become the man. With Coward's 70th birthday, the legend is sealed. As Carlyle said of the universe, we had best accept it-as gratefully as Coward does...
...other experiments designed to measure solar emissions such as x-rays, ultraviolet light and neutrons that are ordinarily blocked from view by the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere. When ever the satellite emerges from the earth's shadow, two of these devices, including Harvard's telescope, constantly scan different portions of the sun's disc and record the intensity of the sun's radiation in varying sections of the spectrum...
...small motor moves the diffraction grating to examine any one of 10,000 different wavelengths or areas of the spectrum. A second motor keeps the telescope aimed at a single point, or else it shifts the entire telescope back and forth to scan small areas of the sun. It thus obtains a television picture in a particular type of ultra-violet light...
...calibrated the experiment. "But we have a real observatory with an almost infinite number of observation possibilities." The telescope can view the sun in one of 10,000 different wavelengths of ultra-violet light and can aim at a single point, take a picture of the entire sun, or scan an area only 1/15 the size of the sun's visible disc. Where earlier OSO satellites were able to take only one picture of the entire surface every 5 minutes, this telescope can also map a small region every 30 seconds. This allows the astronomers to follow very fast solar...
...textile-and fur-labeling practices. It has questioned a fur label on which "South West Africa" was abbreviated to "S.W. Africa" and a "90% wool" label on a blanket that was 89.9% wool. On the other hand, the commission does not even screen local TV and radio commercials or scan newspaper ads to detect the fraudulent practices-fictitious pricing, home-improvement gyps, "bait-and-switch"schemes-that the FTC's own studies indicate are widely practiced in ghetto areas. The main reason for this failing is that the commissioners have given their staff little guidance as to what kind...
