The reactor would come out of the 750 million dollar aid package for Egypt, he said, and would be under the most exhausting safeguards in existence in any TOWARDS A BRIGHTER DAY...

"NICK" NICHOLSON, SCULPTOR Recently featured in an article in the Sunday Calendar Section of the Los Angeles Times Nick Nicholson is a noted gem cutter and gemologist as well as a sculptor and his faceted stones are in the collections of the Smithsonian, Victoria and Albert and the Toronto Museums. His was the skilled hand that cut the white sapphire gemstone that was to become the crystalline villain of the movie "Andromeda Strain." A truncated tetrahedron tripartate, cut to near zero tolerance and fitted in its three sections into the tube of a microscope to create the illusion of crystal growth, was used in the film. He is a pioneer in the art of welded gold and the lace-like jewelry he has created has become a collector's item in such galleries as Chastenet of Westwood. In other works he has created animal and bird sculptures that appear in collections from the eastern seaboard to the wilds of Wyoming. His architectural sculpture for banks and buildings makes use of a wide variety of metals, stainless steel, mild steel, etc., though his favorite is a combination of the warm bronze and copper he uses in so many of his gem and metal pieces. On this voyage Mr. Nicholson will discuss and demonstrate the art of "lost wax" casting. This is perhaps the most popular of new techniques being used today by amateur and professional alike. Nick resides in Encino, California with his wife Vickie who is accompanying him on this cruise.
