...Visual and Environmental Studies Department (VES) will not be able to open its program to non-honors concentrators, the Faculty Council decided yesterday...
...absolute right in the Constitution is absolute nonsense." Former Solicitor General Erwin Griswold, who advised Nebraska officials for their Supreme Court appearance, argues with some persuasion that the mounting need for gags is an inevitable "albatross the press carries around its neck because of its steadily increasing visual impact and immediacy." New York Times Attorney Floyd Abrams sought to rebut this contention before the Justices by citing the trials of John Mitchell, John Connally and William Calley which, he said, show that "at no time in our history have jurors demonstrated more ability to determine cases independently"-that is, without...
...ranked in the top 20% of his class of 179, Hartman needed extraordinary dedication to overcome his handicap. In accepting him, Temple waived only a few visual skills-for example, reading X rays. Otherwise, he was required to fulfill all the requirements. That forced Hartman to use considerable ingenuity.

The three return, this time with overcoats hunched up over their heads, and pick up the stealthy...
Observational astronomers--the field essentially divides into observation and theory--are visual-minded. Maps and photographs are not just tools, but art objects. "The plate stacks," Art says, "they're one of the most impressive things around here." The Plate Stacks are two floors of green metal cabinets full of stars captured in glass. This treasury, containing about half a million pictures which go back to the 1880s, forms the cornerstone of Building C. Martha Liller, guardian of the plates, explains that the expensive collection is one of the long-range investments of the Observatory; only in recent years...
