...gazes fixedly at the disk, the strong white light reflected from its center falls on the retina, causing a chemical substance in the center to temporarily bleach away. This causes local fatigue, and makes the center of the image appear less intense-a kind of blinding. Thus the weaker light from the disk's edge and the shadows beyond are perceived more intensely than the center and appear more vivid...
...Faema began producing a coin-operated model for plants and offices that grinds the coffee beans and brews a cup in 20 seconds. This month Valente introduced his latest design, a fully automatic machine that has three buttons: one for "short," extra-strong coffee, another for "long," slightly weaker coffee, and a third for a continuous flow of coffee to fill a pot. Valente hopes that the variety of the new machine will help to lengthen what he calls the "espresso belt." It now runs through Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and parts of Austria and Germany.

The ARVN and Popular Forces fled from the countryside at the onset of Tet, and have been slow to return. The U.S. has only two brigades of the Ninth Infantry in the Delta. Their energies have been fully taxed by the patrols required to keep open Route Four, over which food supplies flow to Saigon...
Despite weeks of wading through New Hampshire's snowdrifts and pushing its doorbells, Romney showed up even weaker than Rockefeller, who has openly discouraged any campaigning for himself in the state. Surprisingly, only 9% of those polled had actually met Romney or even heard him speak in person. But if Republicans were not buying this year's model from Detroit, they were enthusiastic about the "new" Dick Nixon. Asked to pick their candidates' outstanding qualifications, 52% of the Nixonites cited his "maturity and experience" and 40% his "sincerity and conviction." As for Rocky, perhaps partly because...
