...Robert Richards was mildly apologetic for the stubble that darkened his unshaven face. "I always try to look rough on these days," he explained. But 5 o'clock shadow did not scare off his fans. The crowd on hand at Indiana's Wabash College for the National A.A.U. decathlon championship-the trials to determine U.S. Olympic contenders-dogged Bob Richards' every step...
...early popularity among his countrymen (who were to spurn the full flowering of his genius) was solidly rooted in the artistic techniques of both Italy and northern Europe. His early teacher in Leiden had studied in Italy, there learned Caravaggio's trick of sharply contrasting light and shadow, to make light itself the most dramatic element in the picture.

FDA permits only the minutest residues, has devised tests that will detect less than a billionth of an ounce of pesticide...
...American Museum of Natural History, and museum scientists and ideas are freely used in combination with CBS personnel and techniques. The technique is a mixture of live action, film and remote pickups-in the news-show manner. Adventure also claims to have initiated new TV techniques, such as shadow play with mimes to suggest an event of the past, and the ballet to give a concrete illustration of an abstract scientific principle, e.g., the "hereditary ballet," in which the dancers are identifiable as specific genes, to show how a child inherits various characteristics from his parents...
