Street Arab. Toward the end of her Fair Lady run, Julie and Tony Walton got married. He had become a noted stage and costume designer in London, and for a brief moment Julie considered retiring. "But," as Tony says, "work was the only thing she knew." And besides, Moss Hart, with Lerner and Frederick Loewe, authors of My Fair Lady, wanted Julie to play opposite Burton in Camelot, a stylish retelling of the Arthurian legend. Camelot lacked the magic of Fair Lady, but audiences loved it. Julie had a ball too. Recalls Burton: "One night a large, woolly...
Nameless Presence. In Dewart's brief sketch of a theology for the future, the church might no longer talk of God as a Trinity, since the terminology-three persons in one nature-is also applicable only to finite beings. Nor will God be considered omnipotent. Platonic thinking led the scholastics to envision a God who stood over and against nature. The idea of God as a transcendental presence implies to Dewart that God is to be envisioned as a reality found in and through nature, as the shaping force of history. And in so far as the word...
...Easy or Cheap. The array of statistics was admittedly an Administration brief for the bombings, though an impressive one. Even so, Brown conceded that the bombing strategy has its flaws. "I don't want to leave the impression that the air war has been easy or cheap," he said. "It has not." In the 22 months since the raids began, the U.S. has lost 437 planes over the North, 277 of them since the beginning of 1966. Part of the increasing rate is accounted for by the growing efficiency of North Viet Nam's antiaircraft gunners...
...simulate fires in orbit, the scientists loaded test chambers containing high concentrations of oxygen into KC-135 jet transports and flew them through parabolic arcs, creating 30 seconds of zero gravity during each maneuver. In the brief period of weightlessness, they ignited a variety of materials within the test chambers and took color movies of the results. Though the fires lit up promptly, the flames began to die down within 1½ seconds; they simply smoldered or went out completely during the remaining period of weightlessness. Scientists estimated that the burning rates of test materials were reduced by as much...
Eyewitness- North Viet Nam is a 43-minute documentary that offers Western moviegoers a rare glimpse of North Viet Nam. Directed and narrated by James Cameron, a left-wing British journalist who last year published a blandly tendentious report about his brief visit to Hanoi and environs, Eyewitness is a loose collection of such random unrevelatory footage as Cameron's cameramen were permitted to expose...
