...their stronghold. Soon killing became an end in itself, sadistic and without cause. Some machete-wielding fighters specialized in the franela cut, in which the victim's head was sheared from his body with an incision resembling the circular neckline of a flannel undershirt; others preferred the cor bat a -one slice across the throat, through which the victim's tongue was pulled, to look like a necktie. With the grim slogan of "Leave no seed," children were murdered, men emasculated, pregnant women cut open...
...space scientists may not be able to explain the last-minute failure of Ranger 6 for weeks - if ever. As the spacecraft hurtled toward the moon's Sea of Tranquillity, it sent back a vast amount of data; it reported on its changing internal temperature, its bat tery voltages, the position of its antennas. But none of the information that Ranger sent back has yet accounted for the failure of its TV cam eras. "We're still studying it," said Director William Pickering of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "I'm trying to leave the boys alone." Whatever...
...REDEYE is a bazooka-like weapon that blasts out a baseball-bat-sized two stage missile carrying an infrared, heat-seeking guidance system. It is able to search out the hot tail pipe of a low-flying jet fighter flashing along at supersonic speeds. Once Redeye "finds" the target, it flies into the exhaust and explodes.

Last week Marni Nixon was actually mouthing the words as well as singing them. Appearing with the Seattle Symphony in Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire and the Poulenc-Cocteau short opera, The Human Voice...
...THOMPSON-Jackson, 32 East 69th. Feverishly sensual imagery of unsubtle sexual allegory spiced by a confusion of horses' rumps, human hinders, bat-winged vampires and amoebic shapes that droop and contort like tortured Shmoos. The hot, flat fuchsias, reds and greens of this young modern primitive tangle in a fluid phantasmagoria of form, motion and space. Through...
