...other three instruments were anything but idle. Radioing data constantly, ALSEP's magnetometer indicated that the moon's magnetic field-which could offer important clues to the lunar interior-may be considerably stronger than had been believed. Palmer Dyal, one of the magnetometer experimenters, had an esoteric, but speculative explanation: after a period of vulcanism, the moon cooled more rapidly than scientists had heretofore thought, thus preserving a larger portion of its primordial magnetic field...
...never seen anything like it on earth," said M.I.T. Geophysicist Frank Press. "We're not sure what it means, but probably it will represent a major discovery completely unanticipated about the moon." It could mean, for example, that the structure of the moon's interior is highly unstable and that Intrepid's impact set off a continuing series of collapses...
Harvard Psychologist Erik Erikson, for example, has written that the determinant of a woman's identity is her "inner space, destined to bear the offspring of chosen men." He has observed little boys building "high towers" and "façades with protrusions," while little girls build "interior" scenes with "low walls," often "intruded by animals or dangerous men." There must be a connection, he says, between such play spaces, genital differences, and the unique functions and personalities of the sexes...
...worn a year before, "smart" the year of its coming of age, and "hideous" ten years after. But it will become "amusing" 30 years after its vintage year, and ultimately it may become "romantic" or even "beautiful."

...Interior decorators, furniture designers, makers of fine glass, ceramics and fabrics sought to tame the new severities of the Bauhaus. They produced work that did not belie its mass-produced origin, yet sometimes possessed the ease and livability of an earlier, less industrial age. While the style of the day was mechanical, some of its most gifted designers, particularly in the 1920s, were craftsmen who produced signed, custom-designed work for a luxury market. Many were French: Silversmith Jean Puiforcat, Furniture Designer Jacques Ruhlmann, Glassmakers Rene Lalique and Maurice Marinot. In the U.S., Henry Dreyfuss and Norman Bel Geddes designed...
