...Trial. Orson Welles is a cinema genius whose flops are more fascinating than the hits of lesser men, and in this eerie piece of esoterica, an adaptation of Franz Kafka's parable of the Anxious Age, he has produced the most fascinating failure of his career, a madhouse matinee that...
...facts from dozens of interviews, but it is not a story as a newspaperman would send it. We call it research, though it is not as deadening as that word suggests: if careful in its facts, it is casual and carefree in the telling. The Chicago bureau is anxious not only to report the facts but to suggest a tone and mood...
Despite the fact that one New York paper was ready to quit fighting and start publishing (see above), the city's 13-week-old newspaper strike seemed to go on and on. And despite the fact that Cleveland's unions were anxious to settle, Cleveland's 14-week-old strike also seemed endless. But neither city has anything on Portland, Ore. There, an almost forgotten dispute has dragged on since November 1959, and is not one pica closer to settlement than it was when it began. But unlike New York or Cleveland, Portland has not been without...

So careful are its guardians to keep it clean and uncontaminated, they even dress like medical men and work in an antiseptic, hospital-like atmosphere. While the spacecraft resists corrosion from water vapor and the sea-salted air of Cape Canaveral, anxious humans are always around to protect it; it gets what energy it needs through a bundle of wires called an umbilical cable.

Materials that are well behaved in the atmosphere may be useless in space. Even some metals turn to vapor and must be used with caution. Another peril is heat. Space itself has no temperature (having no matter that can be hot or cold), but each object in space assumes a temperature that depends on the balance between the radiation that it absorbs and the radiation that it emits...
