...shape of Southeast Asia's future will be largely determined by 1) the extent to which North Viet Nam succeeds in taking over all of Indochina, 2) the thrust of the Chinese-Soviet cold war and 3) the nature and direction of the continuing U.S. presence in Asia...
...changes in P-wave velocity, Caltech's Whitcomb predicted that there would be a shock near Riverside, Calif., within three months. Sure enough, a tremor did hit before his deadline-on Jan. 30. Whitcomb's successful prediction was particularly important. All previous forecasts had involved quakes along thrust faults, where rock on one side of a fault is pushing against rock on the other. The Riverside quake took place on a strike-slip fault, along which the adjoining sides are sliding past each other. Because most upheavals along the San Andreas Fault involve strike-slip quakes, Whitcomb...
...heart, striped bands-but dissolved them in a feathery, airy film of brush strokes. Then he became interested in packages. Again, packaging was not iconic; it was the most abstract way of putting a product over, smooth and low-keyed, with a regular boxy shape. Paintings like Piano (1963) thrust out from the wall, the sloping canvas sides of the built box contradicted by the smaller fake boxes painted on it in Smith's cursive, soft handwriting, like a festive ziggurat tottering off-balance...

If Pawlowski were convicted...

The bold, simple form of the Paimio sanatorium thrust Aalto into the vanguard of European functionalism in the 1930s. But that straightforwardness gradually changed as he won other commissions for everything from furniture to factories to whole towns, mostly in Finland. Over the years, his buildings have grown ever more intricate and idiosyncratic, taking odd, seemingly arbitrary shapes. But their genesis-profound thoughtfulness leavened by the free play of emotion-has never...
