...upheld that animates his black-and-white prints. The "feel" of Adams' monochrome work is utterly distinctive. It conveys an intense reverence for material: the density and solidity of rocks, the cannonball moon floating in a dark-filtered sky over Half Dome or the New Mexico desert, the way a geyser's spume becomes solid, a thick blade of water. There is an extraordinary distinctness and variety of detail, held in coherence by Adams' sense of tone...
Many people, of course, have known that from the minute Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre found a way to fix images on silver-coated plates in 1839. "Photography was art from the moment the first shutter clicked," insists Graham Nash, 37, a San Francisco musician (formerly of Crosby, Stills and Nash), who owns one of the largest private collections on the West Coast. But only in the past decade has the general public placed photography alongside the other major arts. The first commercially successful New York City gallery devoted solely to photographs was opened in 1969 by Lee Witkin...
Appointing special "blue ribbon" juries made up of people with technical or business training is one way around the problem, though it would probably face constitutional challenges because such jurors are not randomly chosen from the population. A better solution in lengthy cases might be for judges to stop excusing anyone who wants to avoid jury duty. Many lawyers and judges alike are wary of doing away with juries altogether in big cases.

Such natural pointers would explain how the Olmecs sculptured a 3,500-year-old figure of a turtle with a magnetic snout. To the Olmecs, Malmstrom speculates the magnetism may have been the magical power by which sea turtles found their way across great expanses of ocean. (He also suggests that the magnetic turtle may hint of Olmec contacts with the Chinese, since they also made their early compasses in the shape of turtles.) As for the Fat Boys, Malmstrom says, their magnetism may represent the life force, with the navel symbolizing birth, and the temple consciousness or knowledge...
...investigation of his activities, Harvard made restitution almost immediately." But NIH was sufficiently aroused to ask for a broader investigation by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. HEW's preliminary findings, released earlier this year, hit Cambridge like a ton of red tape: HEW auditors questioned the way Harvard accounted for 40% of $37 million in federal grants and contracts to the School of Public Health. It sought an outright refund of an additional 7%, totaling $2.35 million. Most of the problems involved inadequate documentation of "salaries and wages." The refund demands, however, were based on HEW findings...
