...television, seems to have decided that the dominant image of the film is Indians v. the wagon train, so he and his cinematographer lose not a single opportunity to have the camera track 360° around the principals. He stuffs the film with other round-and-round imagery (a carrousel, the pattern of the protesters on the floor) while the sound track drives the point home with constant repetitions of a rock tune called The Circle Game. It is all obviously meant to symbolize constriction and futility; what it spells out even more resoundingly is absolute poverty of invention...
...year for maintenance. The Delacorte Theater, completed with the aid of $150,000 from the philanthropist, is the site of New York's annual free Shakespeare festival. Another Delacorte gift, the Central Park Zoo's animated clock, is designed in the form of an animal carrousel. As its base revolves to glockenspiel music, the clock chimes one of 32 nursery rhymes on the quarter-hour and sends a comical beast dancing every half hour...
Geometry is all very well, but it works better if it is combined with wit: witness George Sugarman's whirling yellow-green Square Spiral, which sends the eye circling dizzily through the empty hole of its central vortex. John Anderson has built an immense symmetrical flower-like wood carrousel, calls it Baroque.

California's William Geis, the gutsiest of the out-of-town recruits unearthed by the traveling scouts, displays Perusal...
...feeling that Christmas is especially welcome in haunted houses, Czechoslovaks are preparing for it eagerly this year. The Christ-child market, set up on a hill overlooking Prague, was teeming last week with shoppers who munched walnuts while wandering through the gift stalls. Near by, laughing children rode a carrousel set up under a towering Christmas tree. Housewives were already shopping for the traditional carp that will be kept alive in a tub until it is served up, garnished with an apple in its mouth, at the Christmas meal. In Prague, the theater season is in full swing, offering everything...
...which are more commonly used for sunglasses. Manhattan's Earl Reiback, 31, a onetime nuclear engineer, even has fun in taking an object-one of six different nudes-and then modulating the image into total abstraction. To accomplish this, he built his Luminage Projector from two standard Buhl "Carrousel" projectors, altering their machinery so that a full complement of 160 slides would modulate gradually, "sensuously," in one continuous cycle. To achieve his abstract patterns, he painted the slides with transparent chemicals, then aimed a laser beam at some, bombarded others with gamma rays in a reactor to alter their...
