...course. Moments lat er, Pilot Joseph Tosolini was radioing that intercepting MIG fighters were forcing him to land on Iturup, one of the Soviet Kurile Islands. For Tosolini, 214 U.S. servicemen bound for Viet Nam aboard Flight 253A and the crew of 16, the interrupted maiden flight of the brand-new giant DC-8 jetliner turned into 55 hours of bone-wearying imprisonment that had diplomats in Washington and Moscow on tenterhooks...
...passionate abandon, embracing her laundry and squealing, "It even smells clean!" That's more than can be said for Sis. Poor kid, her best friend just told her she's got rotten armpits. As for Dad, he keeps getting punched in the eye because he won't switch his brand of cigarettes. So he asserts his virility by barreling around mountain roads in his wide-track, fastback, four-on-the-floor Belchfire with the racer's edge. And Junior, well, the sudden joy of discovering that he's got 27% fewer cavities has apparently unhinged him. Now he stands...
...little opportunity to do more than brand the charges "outrageous lies." But the ruling elders of his and other Chicago churches rushed to his defense.

The exteriors are bleached-out process shots taken on different days with no attempt made to reconcile light changes. When a little action is necessary, Polanski drags out the hand-held camera for some shaky realism (catch Hitchcock filming violence with a hand-held camera!); and repeatedly, Polanski substitutes tight close-ups for style. If nothing else, Rosemary's Baby is ugly--aesthetically derelict, the groping...
...blues gathered a more elaborate accompaniment around itself (sometimes a jazz group) and moved into theaters, dance halls and recording studios. This was the era of Bessie Smith's classic records. By the 1930s, a new style was forged around tenements, speakeasies and rent parties?a harsher, more nervous brand of blues that reflected the stress and tempo of urban living. This style mingled with the blaring jazz and blues that swept out of the Southwest during the swing era (Andy Kirk, Count Basic), and so the stage was set for the emergence, after World War II, of rhythm & blues...
