Staring Eyes And Open: Similar decisions in recent years have set limits upon legal eavesdropping. But they do not deal with new, wide-open, electronic pipelines into the homes and minds of people. With Telstar functioning now, and the video telephone lurking in the wings, man will soon have no place to hide from the staring eyes and open ears of all mankind—unless the law is bent from its present course by timely advocacy and judicial inventions. Law must eventually face up to the problem of balancing the public's right to use these pipelines freely and, of equal importance, the individual's right to close off those that lead to him.
The eyes of a spider are usually near the front or anterior end of the head, but some are directly on top. They are single facets, hence are called simple eyes. They may number two, four, six, or eight; eight is the usual number. However, the cave spiders lack eyes entirely. Regardless of the number, the eyes are always placed in a definite arrangement. Often some pairs are much larger than others.
Active Façades : A New Medium?
Building façades and walls are changing before our eyes, reacting with apparent intelligence to the news, the weather-even our physical proximity to the structures.
Some announce the activities they contain or the building's use and occupancy ("open to the public," for example, or "home team plays tonight"), in ways both transcendent and trite.
Others play games literally with the outside world, tricking the eyes of passersby or treating invited parties to both dialogue and diversion. |
