NASA was faced with a painful choice. If Mattingly were allowed to go on the mission, he might well be disabled by the disease (which can blur vision and swell the joints in the hand), perhaps while alone in orbit around the moon. If the mission were delayed until the next practical launch date, May 9, the extra cost would be $800,000 and there might also be some deterioration of the Saturn systems. In contrast, there was the possibility of replacing Mattingly with his back-up crewman, John Swigert, who was found to have immunity against rubella. But Swigert...
...course the stock comparison to Fascism Cuban militarism, "totalitarianism," etc.-much of their facts taken from a non-biased source like U. S. News and World Report. Next thing some people will be condemning Vietnamese militarism. The Magarolas, blindly or willfully, blur the distinction between a militarism that is defensive, and the aggressive kind practiced in Ethiopa (or Vietnam).

In another sequence, three dancers in what look like stylized gas masks stand bound together by a length of sheet. Sounds of traffic and drilling blur into an oppressive roar as the dancers writhe against their bondage; and against the bleak gray and black patterns projected behind them and onto the moving drapery. At first we perceive the slide-patterns as abstract, then as endless wooden coffins; only near the end do we realize that...
