...useful impression on a fluorescent screen or photographic plate, so Barer focuses the invisible image, enlarged with a reflecting microscope to about three inches in diameter, on a screen. Then, by means of a rapidly revolving mirror, he "scans"' the image, throwing the ultraviolet light from a narrow slice of it into a photomultiplier tube. The faint glimmer of ultraviolet is thus changed into a fluctuating electric current that is powerful enough to form a bright curve on the face of a cathode-ray tube...
...dead set against the "realism" which demands characters who talk and act "like real people." Says he: "The realistic play is not realistic at all, but just a slice off the top of existence.

When Nevada's white-haired Pat McCarran, who had once enjoyed Franco's hospitality, brought up his perennial resolution to give Spain a big slice of Marshall Plan money, he found the Senate surprisingly receptive. Administration leaders managed to keep the money from coming out of ECA's pockets, but could not stop the bill itself. The Senate voted 65 to 15 to give Franco the $100 million...
