In an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, the miraculous solution might take the form of a new, super-powered laser gun.

Vly picked up a small cutting tool with a laser guide at the end.

He turned off the lights and then pointed the laser at the crystal sphere.

Many dozens of flakes, invisible to the naked eye, were revealed when the laser beam pierced the near-perfect sphere.

They couldn't take their eyes off the resplendent glory of the sphere under the laser light.

"Laser light has only one wavelength, so it can't be refracting in there.

" "The crystal's impurities are almost invisible to the unaided eye," answered Vly, "but the laser hits the impurities and causes secondary emissions of light of all sorts of color-the more impurities, the more colors.

" As he moved the laser beam slowly around the globe, the interior lights changed-first one, then another "flaw" taking the light and surging into radiance.

All too soon, he switched off the laser and turned the room lights back on.

Their laser cannons were rapidly destroying the outlying parts of the mining base.

Joe looked out the window again and saw that laser cannons had begun to destroy the ships.

He, Zip, and George had followed Joe to the control center and were watching the laser beams sweep the landing field.

"Their laser beams are immensely powerful, and they're operating at full capacity," observed Zip, grimly.

The fierce glare of destructive laser strikes came through the quartz window for nearly a minute, and the prisoners knew that the living quarters of Z25 were being systematically destroyed.

He groaned, and the laser pistol he had been drawing was caught behind the table.

"Did either of them have a chance to set off an alarm?" "I think this one did," responded Joe, pointing to the fallen pirate at his feet and picking up his laser pistol.

The Starmen's last view of the scene was the pirate leader's shocked face, mouth agape, pulling his laser pistol up to fire.

Suddenly Zip grabbed the laser pistol that Joe was carrying and leaped out of the elevator.

A laser cannon locked onto one freighter and ripped open its hull.

As each passed through the sphere, it fired laser cannons at the freighters.

Crass' ships began to zoom toward the remaining freighters, laser cannons ready.

One Space Command laser pierced the Silver Cloud-a narrow but tight beam.

As soon as the enormous airlock became visible down the shaft, he fired a laser cannon at it.

I could scarcely tolerate the thought that II! should be forced to remain a moment in this lazar-house.

When my thoughts reached this point I was answered by the voice of some one on a level with myself, lying helpless like me on the floor of the lazar-house.

I have lived in this town of tyrants, and lain in this lazar-house before.

It looked like evening, as if somewhere in those far distances there might be a place where a weary soul might rest; and I looked behind me, and thought what I had suffered, and remembered the lazar-house and the voices that cried and the hands that beat against the door, and also the horrible quiet of the room in which I lived, and the eyes which looked in at me and turned my gaze upon myself.

'Are you so new to this place,' she said, 'and have not learned even yet what is the height of all misery and all weariness; what is worse than pain and trouble, more dreadful than the lawless streets and the burning mines, and the torture of the great hall and the misery of the lazar-house' 'Oh, lady,' I said, 'have you been there?'

He had not fallen like me, but his face was drawn with anguish and sorrow like the face of my friend who had been with me in the lazar-house, who had disappeared on the dark mountains.

Two of Vincent's men were in this lazar, shut off from the world, for the soldier, reckless in battle, has a shuddering horror of this loathsome disease.

Lear, thrown from his palace, must divest him of his garments, till he answer "mere nature;" and Cresseid, fallen from a prince's love, must extend her pale arms, pale with other whiteness than of beauty, supplicating lazar alms with bell and clap-dish.

The path we trod was foul with refuse; the stench was sickening; the most forlorn cur would surely have slunk from such a kennel; and here, here, to this lazar-house of all that was unclean and infamous, came of his own free-willThe Babe!

For then, the Fair itself would be as full of pleasure to an Ingenious Person, as the Play; which we manifestly see it is not: but he hath made an excellent Lazar of it.

Once more, compare the lazar-house in the eleventh book of the Paradise Lost with the last ward of Malebolge in Dante.

The Angel, to give him a general Idea of those Effects which his Guilt had brought upon his Posterity, places before him a large Hospital or Lazar-House, filled with Persons lying under all kinds of mortal Diseases.

A walk through this mighty lazar-house would have furnished a wholesome lesson to the most reckless observer.

Soon after the cathedral was converted into a lazar-house she returned thither, and, in spite of the opposition of Doctor Hodges, was appointed one of the nurses.

It was originally a lazar-house founded about 1350.

Minuets and Forlanes were still continued; but Monsieur Vestris displaced the latter by the Gavotte, which he taught to Monsieur Trenis and Madame de Choiseul, who first danced it at a fête given by a lady of celebrity, at the Hotel de Valentinois, Rue St. Lazar, on the 16th of August, 1797; at this fête, Monsieur Hullin introduced an entirely new set of figures of his own composition.

Does he conjure up the images of Milton's lazar-house, and sicken at the spectacle of human suffering?

The lazar houses and the charnels have been ransacked for forms of grisly decay.

The motive seems to have been taken from some lazar-house.

The difference arose about mine hostess Quickly (for I would not give a rush for a man unless he be particular in matters of this moment); they both aimed at her body, but Abencerrago Pistol defies his rival in these words: 'Fetch from the powdering-tub of infamy That lazar-kite of Cressid's kind, Doll Tearsheet, she by name, and her espouse: I have, and I will hold, The quondam Quickly for the only she.

Lazar the Serb threw down the gauntlet to Murad.

The Angel, to give him a general Idea of those Effects which his Guilt had brought upon his Posterity, places before him a large Hospital or Lazar-House, filled with Persons lying under all kinds of mortal Diseases.

But he hath made an excellent lazar of it; the copy is of price, though the original be vile.
