...best of the drawings are observations of the artists' own culture, observations which grow more subtle as the Expressionists develop a facility in using their new techniques. Kirchner's Street Scene (1912), the most widely known drawing in the Bergen collection, captures the process by which the artist evolved what he called "hieroglyphs" out of a chaos of line. The dark hats that emerge become, like printed words, a representation of "men in the street." Among the hatted males, a woman, defined by her dark hair, heavily shadowed eyes, and full-lipped mouth, stands alone. The outlines suggesting the passing...
...middle of a field," he chuckles. "No one knows which way I'm going to run next." But he claims he does it mainly because someone has to stand up for what's right-and he's spent $250,000 of his own funds in the process. "If you keep your money and the government needs it," he says, "the government can always get it. But if the government has your money and you need it, then...
...does Anita Bryant. She has announced plans to go national with Save Our Children. Cities across the country are starting to struggle with the gay-rights problem, and only Massachusetts is in the process of approving a bill forbidding public agencies to discriminate against homosexuals in hiring employees. A federal bill protecting gays against bias, introduced by Congressman Ed Koch, has so far collected 38 cosponsors. Whatever happens in Miami this week, the fight for-and against-gay rights is just beginning...
...done two years of research in and around Little Havana, the home in Miami of 500,000 Cubans. Moyers then worked with Crile for nine more months. The documentary makes no moral judgments. "I wasn't so much trying to tell the viewer anything as to illustrate the process of Government," says Moyers. "I remember how when I was in Washington we raced into decisions, heedless of cause and effect...
Other groups of scientists are placing their bets on a different technique: "inertial confinement." This process involves the high-power laser or electron-beam bombardment of tiny pellets crammed with deuterium and tritium. The sudden application of the energetic beams causes instant vaporization, or boiling away, of the outer surface of the sphere. As the pellet coating flies outward, it pushes back against the deuterium and tritium, compressing and heating the mixture. If the impinging beams are energetic enough, the effect will be so great that the nuclei will fuse, releasing energy like a miniature H-bomb. Among others, researchers...
