Holy Hindsight. In her reviews, Miss Kael usually assembles a wealth of detail from past movies. She detected that footage purporting to show atomic-bomb damage in Hiroshima Mon Amour was not authentic, but had been lifted from an earlier Japanese atrocity film.

The film, she asserted, implies too facile an equation between shipboard rudeness...
...lighting. The Army is experimenting with laser television for secret nighttime surveillance from aircraft, and military planners are developing bomb warheads that seek out targets illuminated by invisible infra-red laser beams. Peeling Potatoes. The various laser wave lengths, about 1,000 times shorter than those of the microwaves used in conventional radar, make laser altimeters, range finders and aerial mappers remarkably accurate. In a demonstration of a laser distance-measuring device, Spectra-Physics, Inc. flew the instrument over a Philadelphia high school stadium at an altitude of 1,000 ft. A conventional radar altimeter would have indicated only...

Often tucked under a pile of fabrics in a crowded store, the minibombs are timed to flare after closing hour. In one day, four fires did $810,000 worth of damage to stores owned by U.S. merchants; unexploded devices have been found in the bathroom of a girls' school and, two weeks ago, at a U.S. Selective Service office...
