...been shot over a period of weeks or months; dialogues may have been filmed with the actor's opposite absent; a single speech may consist of sections from several day's filming; the actor's performance may be placed in juxtaposition with other material, animate or inanimate, which will affect his impact in a way unknown to him at the time of performance. Much of Pudovkin is devoted to an examination of some ways of countering the fragmentation that filming, as a consequence of film's nature as an art, may cause. Longer rehearsal time, stock companies, close co-operation...
...laws for themselves, Beberman's students solve similar problems until the concept involved becomes clear. On the second day, they work at such disarming exercises as stating whether it is true that __ +984 = 984+793. The point is to discover that adding numerals in varying orders does not affect the sum. Later they watch a movie projector running backward and forward, extract the rules of positive and negative multiplication.

To test how the jolts, noises and vibrations of railroad travel will affect the warheaded Minuteman, sensitive oscilloscopes and oscillographs registered every rock and wriggle. Loudspeakers and telephones linked the communications HQ with the other ten cars (one boxcar that housed a jeep, two tank cars for water and diesel fuel, seven air-conditioned "quarters cars"-including one with stereo set, radio, TV). When the train stopped, crewmen stepped out and limbered up, but could wander no farther than 150 yards-earshot range. A sharp command from the single...
Only when a nation's differences with the U.S. are sustained over a long period do they seem to affect a customer's buying habits. Japanese goods since the war have gained wide U.S. acceptance for quality at a lower price. Guided by U.S. know-how, Japanese manufacturers have gone far to overcome the reputation for shoddiness formerly attached to the "Made in Japan" label. Says an official of Chadwick-Miller Importers Inc. of Boston: "Since the war, we find Japanese quality is excellent, considering price." Besides, points out Seiki Tozaki, president of C. Itoh & Co., a Japanese...
