...Family movie" was once a valid description of a film with an entertainment range that knew no age barrier. Now, it is most likely to mean an unimaginative pacifier for the kids and an insipid lullaby for their elders...

A Penn player set the tone for the first period when he pounced on a loose puck five feet in front of the Crimson nets and lifted it over goalie Bob Higgins, over the goal, and over the glass barrier, narrowly missing a spectator in the top row beneath the scoreboard...
...Mice & Men. Scientists chosen to examine the lunar samples will have more freedom. Protected by an ingenious "biological barrier"-a system of vacuum chambers, pneumatic transfer tubes, decontamination locks and "glove boxes"-they will be able to enter and leave their area of the LRL during the quarantine period, examining the lunar material without ever coming in direct contact with it or the astronauts. The samples, maintained in a constant vacuum to protect them from terrestrial contamination, will be analyzed in LRL biology, chemistry, mass-spectrometer and gamma-ray spectroscopy labs. Tiny amounts of moon material will be injected into...
Breaking the Barrier. Myriad technicalities still face the Concorde-and eventually the SST-before it can go into commercial competition. One big potential stumbling block is the fact that the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration must pass on the plane-and should it find the Concorde not air worthy, the French would surely complain that the FAA was dragging its feet to let the Boeing model catch up. The FAA is particularly wary of the fuel and noise problems. Four powerful Olympus engines consume great quantities of jet fuel, requiring reserves that will add weight and cut down on income. Just...

Values are evoked early in the film in association with types of images and varieties of camera movement. Water (in pools, cascades, rivers, oceans) is continually associated with mystery and emotional confusion. It is a barrier, literally separating the characters, or figuratively suggesting their failures of insight. Wire fences, slats, and latticework also recur as a motif of division and isolation. Concrete architectural elements abound in certain sequences, carrying with them an implication of desolation and sterility. Repeated images of speeding trains come to be emblems...
