...death that, rereading him, he couldn't always tell what Manny thought of a film - not that analysis was lacking, just an overall value judgment. I don't think that rendering an Olympian opinion was crucial for him. It was more important to look at the work closely, tunnel into its rhythm and visual texture, then write it up, with special attention to originality of expression and sentence-solving, so that the reader can approach the finished piece with the same concentration, and expectation of rewards, as any work of art. "I believe most of what I wrote," Manny told...
...middle of the Vietnam War, aides to President Lyndon Johnson spoke of seeing "the light at the end of the tunnel" - that is, until the Tet offensive early in 1968 showed the light to be that of an onrushing train. Are we finally seeing light at the end of the Iraq tunnel? It's messy, it's not what we were promised, and it's not over yet... but the basic outlines of the conflict's conclusion are emerging...
...Hence his idea for a spray-on condom. The prototype, which began testing last year, consists of a hard plastic tube with nozzles that spray liquid latex from all directions, much like the water jets in the tunnel of a car wash. According to Krause, there are numerous advantages to his spray-on condom. "The condom fits 100% perfectly, so the safety is much higher than a standard condom's, and it feels more natural...
...than the Tracer Rise. For one thing, it looks a lot cooler. The long grey panels - you feel like an astronaut crossed with a figure skater - are products of multiple levels of technological innovation. Speedo used a NASA lab to measure more than 90 different fabrics in a wind tunnel to find the one with the smallest drag coefficient. It eventually settled on a nylon estane base fabric and a thin polyurethane membrane for the panels. Speedo hired ANSYS Fluent - known most recently for its work on the Formula One team BMW Sauber - which used computational fluid dynamics to measure...
...this idea? I went to get my car washed. In Germany, you drive through a tunnel, and there's water coming from all sides. I was sitting in my car, and I said, "Yes! This is the idea! I will try this with a condom." So I went to a hardware store--I felt a little like MacGyver--and I bought a tube, put some holes in it, attached these nozzles and connected them to a box of liquid latex. The latex sprays out of the nozzles...
