...through space was difficult to sustain. Instead, performers often looked as though they were progressing from one focus to another. Only two choreographers. Catherine Stern in Personna and Wendy Summit in Void tried different lighting. In Personna a shaft of light was thrown from stage left like a flashlight beam. In contrast Void was nullified by the trick appearance of the house lights, which remained on throughout most of the dance...
...public multiversities are building in frantic fashion. The University of California (current enrollment: 95,320, which will grow to 140,000 by 1975) adds 8,000 students a year-the equivalent of Yale's student body. At its crowded, overgrown Berkeley campus, steelworkers clinging to an open I beam are as much a part of the Sproul Plaza scene as are the hippie protesters. Texas-size is the right phrase for that state's major public university, which has spread to ten campuses in seven cities with 52,631 students, 1,500 teachers...
...stars are the Harvard physicists, students, engineers and technicians--working under Karl Strauch, professor of Physics, and James K. Walker, assistant professor of Physics--who have been studying the influence of electrical charges on one another at exceedingly small distances. To do so, the scientists have used the beam from the accelerator to produce electron-positron pairs...
...their fingertips six missile launchers, a swiveling belly-turret with a 30-mm. automatic gun, and a nose turret armed with either a 40-mm. grenade-launcher or a six-barrel minigun that fires 6,000 rounds per minute. A special helmet linked to an infra-red light beam allows the pilot to aim his fire system by moving his head, while the gunner, using a periscopic sight, can presumably hit an object as small as a car radiator cap from 1 ± miles away...
...They were the four members of the prosperous Clutter family of Holcomb, Kans., and their killers. Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, who were executed in 1965. Although the book was flawed by a seeming excess of sympathy for the criminals, it had the sweeping force and glare of high-beam headlights zooming down a forgotten country road. In Richard Brooks's film version, the candlepower is weakened, but the power and fascination of the story are undiminished. The nonfiction novel has become anything but a noncinematic movie...
