Nobody else has put together an empire quite like it. Through subsidiary Kingsberry Homes, Boise Cascade foresees selling 5,000 prefabricated houses this year. In joint ventures with Los Angeles Builder R. A. Watt and Perma-Bilt Enterprises, a San Francisco area housebuilder, another 2,500 dwellings will go up. And Divco-Wayne Corp., which last month agreed to merge with Boise Cascade, does a $100 million-a-year business as one of the world's foremost makers of mobile homes and travel trailers. "We've been trying to get from timber-our starting point-down...
...Antonakos' Orange Vertical Floor Neon, Chryssa's Fragments for the Gates to Times Square II and an untitled work by Dan Flavin. At the heart of the U.S. pavilion at Montreal's Expo 67, technicians were putting into place Robert Rauschenberg's brand-new illuminated watt-chamacallit...

During the two-week lunar night, Sun estimates, one pound of meteorite particles would soak up more than enough energy to burn ten 100-watt light bulbs for one hour...
...radiation. At one end, an electron beam is generated in much the same manner as the beam inside a home TV picture tube. Injected into a nickel-size hole that runs the length of the copper tube, the beam's electrons are immediately accelerated by 6,000,000-watt microwave pulses generated by 245 klystrons-giant, ultrahigh-frequency radio tubes spaced evenly in the structure above the entire length of the tunnel. Riding the crest of the moving radio wave produced by the klystrons, the electrons move only a few feet before they approach the universal speed limit...
