...tests by the Interior Department's Bureau of Mines, is called an exhaust-manifold reactor. Developed by Du Pont over the past two years, the reactor system would replace the regular manifold unit on U.S. vehicles. It consists of two 4½-in. by 22-in. alloy-coated stainless-steel cylinders that fit over the sides of a standard V-8 engine. (Only one reactor is required for a six-cylinder model.) As high-temperature exhaust gases flow into the reactors, air is blown into them by a small pump, causing a more complete burning of the fumes. Reduced...
...seasonal display at its Manhattan Gallery, decorating the trees according to suggestion. Jeweler Harry Winston fancied diamond sparkles, Rex Harrison (Dr. Dolittle) spoke up for animal heads, Cartoonist Charles Schulz wanted a pine branch atop Snoopy's doghouse, Julia Child recommended pots and pans on a stainless-steel tree, and Leontyne Price wanted her tree covered in opera programs. Pop Sculptor Marisol,-37, was one of the few who eschewed a personal trademark, imagining a tree lying on its side in bed dreaming of its fellow trees in the forest. Hallmark set one up just that way, and-well...
...heart has been visualized without surgery once before by the use of a rigid stainless steel rod also introduced through the blood vessels. But the rigidity of this instrument made it difficult to manipulate. It was unable to pass through the variety of valves, blood vessels and chambers that the flexible fiber optics system can, Dr. Gamble said...
...lurks in certain highbrow essays. Poshlost calls Mr. Blank a great poet, and Mr. Bluff a great novelist. One of poshlost's favorite breeding places has always been the Art Exhibition; there it is produced by so-called sculptors working with the tools of wreckers, building crankshaft cretins of stainless steel, zen stereos, polystyrene stinkbirds, objects trouves in latrines, cannon balls, canned balls. There we admire the gabinetti wall-patterns of so-called abstract artists, Freudian surrealism, roric smudges and Rorschach blots, all of it as corny in its own right as the academic 'September Morns' and 'Florentine Flowergirls...
...sculptors, using materials untried in art, began building complex works that physically re-created the frenetic pace and brilliance of modern urban life. To Chryssa, all of Times Square's jangle of signs is one total work of art, and she has set out with neon tube and stainless steel to rival its garish, flickering magic. Kinetic Sculptor George Rickey equates movement with life itself; his own tall blades and semaphores sway in the wind above treetop level and are capable of almost infinite extension...
