New look for Monday Paper
Regular readers of Monday Paper will note that our publication has a new look this week.
Our intention was to give the newspaper a fresh design while at the same time enhancing its readability.
For those who have an interest in these matters, you will note that we have changed our font from Bookman to Bookman Antiqua, and upped the font size slightly from 8.5 points to 9 points.
In addition, we now have five columns instead of four and we are using a ragged right setting, which is easier on the eye.
Our masthead too has a neater, cleaner look with more white space around it. We are enthusiastic about our spruced-up appearance and would welcome your feedback. You can e-mail Andrea Weiss on aweiss@bremner.uct.ac.za with your comments.
The science side of life...
"Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction." - Pierre Pachet, professor of physiology at Toulouse, 1872.
"I am an expert of electricity. My father occupied the chair of applied electricity at the state prison." - WC Fields.
"Researchers have discovered that chocolate produces some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana. The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two but can't remember what they are." - Matt Lauer on NBC's Today Show.
"The chaos theory is a new theory invented by scientists panicked by the thought that the public were beginning to understand the old ones." - Mike Barfield.
"The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?" - David Sarnoff's associates in response to his urging for investment in the radio in the 1920s.
"USA Today has come out with a new survey: Apparently three out of four people make up 75% of the population." - David Letterman.
