Russia opened her offense up to full steam as the second period began, with Guryshev scoring again at 0:16 on a screen shot from between the circles. A few minutes later, the Russian center picked up his third goal when, after Pratt had stopped his first shot from the right, he picked it up and fired through a jam-up in front of the goal to make the score...
...daughter Indira, the distinguished guests made their way by the dancing water. They mounted the great marble steps, crossed the terrace paved with smooth white pebbles from the banks of the Ganges, passed beyond a series of slender golden columns, and disappeared behind the great golden-studded white screen. Then came the inspection of the air-conditioned offices with their doors of teak, the elaborate servants' quarters, the great aluminum shade through which the sunlight filters into dappled patterns below.

The dots of the photographic screen are like both atomic particles and little voids riddling the picture; they ripple and fade like a cloud of unknowing before the Renaissance image. A piece of paper floating on edge and a cherry hung on a string, painted to fool the eye, emphasize the strangeness of the rest. Dali's title for this weird and serious effort: Quasi-grey picture which, closely...
