Though Egyptian sculptors borrowed esthetic ideas freely from their conquerors, they added their own craftsmanlike touches, which had been passed down through 2,000 years of Egyptian civilization. Artisans eschewed the hard-tipped metal tools used by foreign sculptors, pounded away at the quarry rock with stone cutting tools, polished the finished work with quartz sand. Details such as the echeloned curls, sinuous eyebrows, and almond-shaped eyes of the Girl with a Late Period Bob were painstakingly sculpted. So perfect was the technique of these artisans that even today no modern steel cutting tool can achieve the same sable...
...breed of U.S.-produced machines, so wondrously gifted and versatile that they hold the promise of a new industrial revolution. In Chicago's huge, hot International Amphitheatre and Navy Pier, the visitors excitedly inspected 11,000 gleaming new engineering marvels in twin shows: the Machine Tool Exposition and the Production Engineering Show. The new breed-and the stars of the shows-were nearly 100 machine tools of a wholly new kind, the brilliant offspring of the marriage of the automated machine and the computer's electronic brain. They represented a giant stride toward the ultimate goal...
...numerical control." The new machine needs an operator to show it only once how to do an intricate job. In the process its computer brain jots down symbolic numerical notes, thereafter can work automatically from "memory"-or learn a new task just as quickly. In the machine and tool industry, where techniques change so slowly that an exposition is held only twice a decade, the numerical-control machines brought forth a babble of superlatives, such as "the sunburst of a new era," "a stupendous breakthrough." Where it now takes a day to "set up" a lathe or other machine before...

...only 1,500,000 tons of oil a year, the Israel pipeline offers the possibility of sending Middle East oil products to Europe without paying Suez Canal tolls or being subject to Nasser's whim. Before a political rally in Alexandria, Nasser accused the Shah of being a tool of "imperialism," and, in classic fashion, all but invited the Shah's subjects to assassinate their king. Egypt's Ministry of Religious Affairs directed imams to preach sermons against the Shah as a "traitor to Islam," and Nasser urged his fellow Arab nations to withdraw their ambassadors from...
