...years the late Werner Heldt was called "the Utrillo of Berlin," a tag that enraged him all the more because it was based on the shallow observation that both he and Utrillo painted city streets. Both also drank. Yet that deprecatory comparison was about the measure of Heldt's renown at the time of his death seven years ago. This week Heldt is enjoying a sudden spurt of fame as the key figure of a new, nonabstract "Berlin School." The critical applause comes from a show in Wiesbaden of the collection of rich Machine-tool Maker Kurt Brandes...
...American science in the next generation must, quite literally, double and redouble in size and strength." So said the President's Science Advisory Committee last fall, and it sounded reasonable enough-without a price tag. Last week the National Science Foundation, which promotes U.S. basic research and science education, produced the tag. The staggering price of scientific expansion over the next decade: more than $50 billion...
When geophysicists tag the rock strata under the ocean, they call the ocean water the first layer. On the bottom is the second layer: sediment and sedimentary rock averaging 1 km. thick. Below it lies the third layer, which seismic waves have proved to be made of unusually heavy rock. The third layer is normally unreachable, but scientists making a seismic survey in 1959 got hints that it might be exposed on the sides of the Puerto Rico Trench. In 1960 Dr. Earl Hays of Woods Hole took photographs showing fractured rock on the trench's north wall...

...almost like walking around in a slip," says a Henri Bendel buyer. "As soon as a dress gets busy, it moves out of the little-nothing class." Only the richness and rarity of the dress's fabric and its careful, ingenious cut suggest its price tag-from about $200 to more than $500 in designer originals. Designers are now fashioning little nothings in all materials from pique to brocade, and in all colors, thus setting them apart from that older fashion cliche, the little black dress. The fall collections suggest that most people have already had enough of this...
