...island saw an average of 15 movies. Seven production companies with 20 sound stages turn out 120 films a year, mainly teenage tearjerkers, but occasional quality flicks too. A Touch of Zen, by renowned Director King Hu, won the Cannes Film Festival top prize in 1975 for technique. Ting Shan-Hsi, winner of the Asia Film Festival Best Director award, has just completed a $2.5 million epic called 800 Heroes, using a cast of 50,000 troops, 30 navy vessels and 50 refitted air force planes. Ting had a problem: protecting his players. Thirty had to be hospitalized because real...
...liquor because of an inherited intolerance for alcohol. Now two medical researchers at a Phoenix, Ariz., branch of the National Institutes of Health and the Indiana University School of Medicine have challenged that belief. Using 30 Indian and 30 white volunteers as test subjects, Drs. Lynn J. Bennion and Ting-Kai Li let each slowly down a 3-oz. jigger of 50% ethanol, the form of alcohol in liquor. After a lapse of 90 minutes to allow total absorption of the alcohol into the bloodstream, they began taking blood samples from the subjects once every 30 minutes over a three...
What is happening in a work like Triptych, May-June 19741 What relation does the center panel, with its interior space - a platform with one figure crawling round the rim and another sit ting in a pool of violet shadow at the back - have to the two beach scenes on either side? Whose are the two heads in old-fashioned collars that rise, like oppressive icons of paternal authority, be hind the platform? Unanswerable questions. What remains, nevertheless, is an extraordinary density and layering of sensation - the Grand Manner returned to figurative art, but scraped...
...some very exciting physics to tell you," said M.I.T. Physicist Samuel Ting earlier this month as he entered the office of Burton Richter, a Stanford University physicist. "Listen," Richter interrupted, "I've got some exciting physics to tell you." In fact, the two researchers, working independently and a continent apart, had almost simultaneously made an important discovery: a totally new type of subatomic particle that could upset prevailing ideas about the basic nature of matter...
Tentatively called a "J" particle by Ting's team, which used the 33 billion-electron-volt accelerator at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and a "Psi" particle by Richter's group at the two-mile-long Stanford Linear Accelerator, it was the heaviest atomic fragment ever found-almost 3% times more massive than the proton. It was also, by nuclear standards, extremely long-lived. It survived a full one-hundred billionths of one-billionth of a second, or 1,000 times longer than other massive particles...
