...preserve "a picture of our struggle for freedom." Much of his work portrays aspects of violence, including riots at home and the Vietnam war abroad. One enormous diptych called "Vietnam/Genocide/America" points up the Negro's ironically similar position in both. In the background of "The Manipulators" (placed in the window facing the street) we see President Johnson and Premier Ky with their arms around each other; and Johnson has to himself one painting titled simply "Killer." Among other paintings of protest are "Grove Hall Nightmare," "Roxbury Rebellion," and "Riot Victim...
...vulpine criminal in a sumptuous penthouse pulls aside a window curtain to look down at the street. When he releases the curtain, he is abruptly in another apartment. He crosses the thickly carpeted living room to peer into a bedroom; when he turns back, the living room is empty and bare-floored...
...frequencies of light emitted from the stars. As the spacecraft approached stars at high velocity, their light appeared to be shifted toward the blue, or higher frequency end of the spectrum. Moving rapidly away from other stars caused their light to appear more red. Stars viewed through the front window of the spacecraft generally became more blue, those through the rear window more red, as the spacecraft velocity increased...
...direction of the spacecraft's motion. Thus, the computer showed, as the craft approached 45 Eridani at ever increasing velocities, other stars in the sky began to converge toward the target star. At 90% of the speed of light, only a few stars remained visible through the rear window. In a nightmarish finale to Moskowitz's flight, the remainder of the visible universe-stars, galaxies, nebulas-seemed to collapse into a single point and simultaneously disappear...
...safety commission, be mass-produced as cheaply as Detroit's lower-priced models, be far ahead in safety. Though New York State has no plans to build it, the design has such features as four-wheel drive for maximum traction and resistance to skidding, an all-window defrosting system, four roll bars, a "driver's periscope" affording wide-angle rear-view visibility, and a hydraulic, energy-absorbing bumper that extends forward one foot when the car speeds beyond 37 m.p.h. The tanklike car is supposed to protect passengers against injuries in front and rear collisions...
