...photographs of crystallized hemoglobin. Scattered and deflected by the atoms within, the X-rays form a pattern of light and dark spots on a film behind the crystal. By patient mathematical analysis of thousands of variations of this pattern (each produced by a Perutz technique of substituting mercury "tag" atoms for different atoms within the hemoglobin molecule), the structure of the complex molecule was carefully pieced together...
With French workers winning wage increases averaging 15% this year aviation men estimated that the plane's $20 million price tag will climb by another $700,000-perhaps more. "The increase in French costs is bound to have an adverse effect on the Concorde," said John Stonehouse, British Minister of State for Technology, "because it will be more difficult to sell outside France and the U.K." Indeed the delta-winged plane is already encountering sales trouble: airlines have signed options to buy only 74 Concordes-and the figure has remained static for a year. Even with sales...
...gear themselves to a relatively small market. Although demand was sufficient to justify manufacturing a number of basic models, it hardly warranted turning out a full line. If a Canadian buyer wanted a Thunderbird, it had to be imported-with a 17½% duty added onto the price tag...

It bears a tag saying, "This piece was begun on April 4, 8 a.m. and completed April 4, 7 p.m.," because Wiley was making it on the day that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot. Recalls the artist: "I didn't think of the black and white as racial, but when I heard about King being shot, it suddenly seemed relevant...
