...early days of the Internet, transmission of sound came largely in the form of Windows. WAV or Macintosh .AU files. Both of these formats had terrific sound quality, but at a high price: since these files were often a megabyte or more in size, it could take minutes to download a 15-second sound bite...
Folkl's defensive presence was sorely lacking for the Cardinal as well, as most of the smaller Crimson's points were scored on the inside. Many expected that Harvard's lack of physical size would make it impossible for the Crimson to stick with the Cardinal without hoisting a slew of three-point shots, but Harvard buried just six threes overall in the game...
...Chaos, the spacecraft photographed an area in which the moon's thin skin of ice appears to have buckled as a result of turbulent water moving just beneath the frozen crust. The crumpling gave the ice a washboard topography made up of a series of parallel cliffs, each the size of Mount Rushmore. Elsewhere the spacecraft spotted bright crustal fractures crisscrossing older, darker ones, suggesting that the ice is being cracked and recracked by similar subsurface sloshing. Still elsewhere the ship photographed a crater whose floor seems to have swelled up from beneath--its central peak pushed above...
...leading global position in camping gear, gas grills, coffeemakers, smoke detectors and more. But for all the synergies, it is the potential for tried-and-true Dunlapian cost cutting that excites Wall Street. The biggest of his buys, Coleman, with '97 revenues of $1.2 billion, is roughly the same size as Sunbeam and has problems similar to those Dunlap faced at Sunbeam when he arrived in July 1996. Coleman essentially becomes Dunlap's next turnaround gig. Only he bought it instead of being hired. (Job hunting is such a drag.) If he can work his formula at Coleman, Sunbeam...
...Pope Clement IX Rospigliosi commissioned Bernini to work on the Ponte Sant' Angelo project. For the next two years, the sculptor cast his ideas into clay, creating models for 10 over life-size marble angels, each carrying an instrument of Christ's Passion. Of the 10 angels, eight were carved by sculptors under Bernini's direction, and Bernini's own work was confined to the angels holding the Crown of Thorns and the Superscription. When the Pope visited Bernini's studio, he was so impressed with Bernini's two angels that he declared them too beautiful for outdoor display...
