...clear, light material-like glass buildings. Transforming the cultural world into the world of the laboratory, it brings art nearer to science." For her just-opened show in Manhattan's Pace Gallery, Chryssa made a 10-ft.-sq. chamber, analyzing the letter A in neon and stainless steel through which people can walk.

...repair. The smaller anterior tibial artery had lost only 1½ inches. By taking out splintered bone and shortening the leg slightly, the surgeons were able to pull the two ends of the artery together. Then they drilled through the bone above and below the fracture and inserted four stainless-steel pins; they held the projecting ends of the pins together with steel bars and surgical screws.

Gillette began to fight back in earnest in December 1963, when it entered the British stainless-blade market, launched a major new salvo last September with a massively advertised new blade coating named "Microchrome EB-7."
