...Very Large Array (VLA), an extraordinary $78.3 million string of 27 radio telescopes set out like giant Dixie cups across 21 miles of the desert of New Mexico. The VLA is one of a kind: the separate signals received by the 27 instruments can be melded into a single seamless picture, providing scientists with huge, highly detailed portraits of the heavens. Pointing the VLA toward the galactic center, Yusef-Zadeh and his Columbia colleague, Don Chance, along with Astronomer Mark Morris of UCLA, mapped out 200 light-years of the galaxy...
Like many a sun worshiper, Actress-Model Ann Turkel, 32, used to spend hours working on a seamless, all-over tan, but got tired of "always hanging out naked in my backyard." So she and her boyfriend, Austrian Designer Hans Buhringer, set out to find a solution to this two-tone torment. The result, appropriately, is called "the unsuit," available for men and women at $35 to $40 and made with a special cotton material that allows some, but not all, of the sun to shine through...
...York City's Fordham University last week, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago, perhaps the most influential U.S. archbishop, defended the linking of opposition to both abortion and capital punishment by arguing that these "prolife" policies constitute a "seamless garment." Bernardin also spoke on a subject with which he has become closely identified: opposition to the nuclear arms race. Rejections of abortion and nuclear war, he declared, are "specific applications of this broader attitude" to life. He noted: "We have also opposed the death penalty because we do not think its use cultivates an attitude of respect for life...
Culture Club whips up a smooth, seamless sound that proudly picks every pocket of pop for inspiration: reggae, soul, country and western, mainstream rock. The results are whimsical, joyous and occasionally mysterious detonations of apparently casual inspiration. Very cool, very catchy and, to borrow a favorite word of the lead singer's, never naf. "Naf' stands for out of it, rotten, done over and overdone-and not, clearly, for Culture Club, which seems, at this somewhat disjointed juncture on the hit parade, to define the very core of contemporary...
...commonplace experience is too mundane to attract the sympathetic interest of this writer. Just as bleak, hollow cocoons of loneliness make up much of Philip Larkin's poetry, is unglamorous, unremarkable lives which are the raw materials of Trevor's prose. But far from being dull, these are absorbing, seamless evocations of character and life style, of curiously inept human beings muddling through life's complications. Infused with a gentle wit and narrated in an unobtrusively direct style. Trevor's stories are more palatable and accessible than Larkin's poems--not burdened by a heaviness of style or mood...
