Renny's classmates seemed to like his work, started buying up his cardboards for 25? apiece. But, more important, his teacher liked them too ("nice design . . . balanced lines . . ."), and decided to take some of them to Boston. There Gallery-Owner Margaret Brown saw them and was enthralled-"terrific spatial feeling . . . great sensitivity . . ." She put them on display along with her exhibit of Calder mobiles. "It takes an artist with some feeling," said she, "to do 20 of these and sustain his values." Some of her advance-guard customers agreed. By last week, she had sold six original Drews...
Like other steroid hormones (e.g., testosterone, androsterone, progesterone), cortisone is a tough chemical customer. Its molecules are built around the steroid nucleus" (TIME, Jan. 29) which has three six-atom carbon rings and one five-atom ring in the proper spatial arrangement. To build such a molecule from scratch was considered so difficult that few chemists ever hoped to accomplish...
...smart enough to think you can get out by flunking the test you're wrong. We know how much you know, and even if you flunk it you pass." It was a forty-minute test, with simple two pints plus four pints arithmetic problems and the flexible figures of spatial relations. The sergeants, corrected the test immediately. The group average seemed to be something over...
...walk on the walls. When a radar antenna jams, they go out on the hull in pressurized monkey suits to make repairs while traveling at seven miles a second. The scientist slips off into space, and his traveling companions stage a fantastic rescue that dramatizes the strange laws of spatial physics. Later, the explorers bound in seven-league strides along the cracked, cratered moonscape where gravity is only one-sixth of what it is in films that take place on the earth...
...Prophet ("I had only been uncollected odds and ends," said G.B.S. "Henderson collected me"). Henderson also wrote one of the first full-length biographies of Mark Twain, a 500,000-word history of his state, and a recondite mathematics treatise, "The Derivation of the Brianchon Configuration for Two Spatial Point-Triads." Once, two universities (Oklahoma and Tulsa) offered him presidencies in the course of a single evening. Moronic Camels. Despite such offers, Archibald Henderson seldom left Chapel Hill for long. Neighbors became accustomed to "The Genius," bounding down to the post office in the morning, or sitting on his porch...
