...dons strange white masks to act out the ritual rape and murder of a white woman-only to turn to the whites in the audience and taunt them with the explanation that they are only behaving as whites expect them to behave. Last week The Blacks passed the 1,000th-performance mark off-Broadway in New York...
...practically every day." A sudden crush of crises in his work recently compelled one labor leader to fly between Rio and São Paulo four times in a single day. Former President Juscelino Kubitschek, the man who sited Brasilia out in the outback, has just clocked his 40,000th airborne hour, or nearly five years of his life spent up in the air. Poor Oscar Niemeyer, the brilliant architect of Brasilia, so hates flying that whenever he has to go home to Rio, it takes him two days by car. He is one of the few holdouts...
...line and installed cost accounting. This year, as a result, O'Day Corp. expects to make a $90,000 profit at last; there was a happy champagne celebration at the company's Fall River, Mass., factory last week when the 1,500th Day Sailer and the 1,000th Rhodes 19 both were hauled out of the plant.

Guests from other faiths included top U.S. Lutheran Franklin Clark...
...Berkeley's Bevatron, to fire negatively charged K mesons into a hydrogen bubble chamber. After the mesons collided with hydrogen nuclei, the scientists found two K mesons that were the decay products of an even more ephemeral particle. It has a life span of just 2/1 0,000th of a billionth of a billionth of a second-or just long enough to travel a few widths of an atomic nucleus at the speed of light. But its discovery carries the curious and unpredictable importance of all successful basic research. Now there is a little less strangeness in the whirligig...
