...choice of a design. A note book of ideas which inspired the work is a disappointment, because it hints at the lack of meaning of the work for the artist--the lack of a forceful idea underlying the work itself. It seems the sculpture was inspired by Yin and Yang, cycloids and orbiting planets, hardly a coherent unifying idea for a work...
Sealed Destiny. Los Angeles is probably the fastest-growing city in the history of the world. No European laid eyes on it until 1769, when an expedition of Spanish explorers came upon an Indian village called Yang-na and renamed the site Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles-Our Lady Queen of the Angels. Twelve years later, the area was settled by 44 low-caste peons (including ten Negroes) from Mexico. The pueblo came under American occupation in 1846, was incorporated (pop. 1,610) in 1850-the same year that California received statehood...
...medal in 1948. Last month at the U.S. decathlon championships in Salina, Kans., Toomey scored 8,234 points under the complicated performance tables, and Hodge scored 8,130 to put both over the old world record of 8,089 set in 1963 by Nationalist China's C. K. Yang. Last week at the Los Angeles Times International Games, Russ reversed the decision, beating Bill by eleven points and coming within five points of breaking his world mark...
Best but Three. Between them, Toomey and Hodge have beaten Yang's best marks in all but three events. Toomey is strongest in the running events: he has pared .3 sec. off Yang's top time for the 100 meters, .9 sec. off his 400-meter mark, half a minute off his 1,500-meter time. Hodge is better in the field: he has put the shot 11 ft. 2¼ in. farther than Yang, hurled the discus 165 ft. 5 in. (v. Yang's 140 ft. 1 in.). Rooming together in a $110-a-month Santa...
Science writers outdid themselves reporting that all physics was in a state of chaos and shock. But the real shock came almost a decade ago when Professors Tsung Dao Lee of Columbia and Chen Ning Yang of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton challenged the concept of "parity" and the idea of symmetry in matter and antimatter for so-called "weak" forces in nature. What was needed was an experiment to check out possible violations of physical symmetry in stronger forces...
