While bombs fell in the wrong places, the dubious beginnings of U.S. military activities in Cambodia were being laid bare in Washington. Former Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird has insisted for three weeks that he never ordered falsification of any documents to hide U.S. air and ground activities in Cambodia and Laos in 1969 and 1970. Last week, however, that flat denial apparently became inoperative. The Senate Armed Services Committee, which has been investigating what is being called "the Cambodian cover-up," released a top-secret 1969 memorandum, which showed that Laird had approved falsified reporting to hide bombing raids...
During their long stroll, the astronauts worked four hours successfully erecting a second sunshade to protect Skylab's bare spot (cabin temperatures dropped as much as eight degrees into the low 70s). They also reloaded their solar-telescope array with fresh film and set up a micrometeorite-measuring experiment. Meanwhile, Skylab continued to be plagued by glitches. A coolant leak was discovered in one air-conditioning system, and suspected in another. A short circuit briefly troubled the telescope mount. Several external lights, intended for use during the space walk, failed to work, as did a video-tape recorder...
Said the elated Bean: "That's what we've been hoping you would say." In fact, the astronauts got ready to take their repeatedly postponed space walk early this week. That will enable them to erect a second sunshade over the area stripped bare when a micrometeorite shield ripped off during Skylab's launch in May. The astronauts will also take the opportunity to reload their solar-telescope array with fresh film. Underscoring the renewed optimism at Houston that Skylab would survive this latest crisis, Kraft made arrangements to bring Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin to Houston...
Helen, Queen of the Nautch Girls. a quasi-documentary short about an Indian queen of sexpot film stars. Sequinned and bare-bellied she dances a love-making literally evocative of the real thing. Harvard Square...
...though by ellipsis repeating "Way out in the distance/Cable cars/And I hear the church bells chime." I suspect this passage is ad libbed, yet it is the vision's essence. The band stretches out over a basic bass riff, everybody taking off at once, three instruments for every phrase, bare unity. Platania and Labes weave phrases, while the vibes hold a mood. The album's finest moment is Morrison's coaxing of the bassman into a riff he verbalizes, once, twice, three times before the bass picks it up and holds it. It reminds me of a walk...
