...necessary measures to repel North Vietnamese aggression. Along with his colleagues on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, McCarthy has attacked American foreign policy in Latin America--particularly in the Dominican Republic. In addition, he has been trying for years to launch an investigation into the operations of the Central Intelligence Agency and to obtain greater Congressional control of its activities...
...about 150 miles south of Copernicus, the picture gave scientists a fresh slant on one of the moon's most prominent craters. For the first time they could, in effect, peer over the rim of Copernicus and get a close-in look at its walls, floor and central mountains-areas they had seen through earth-based telescopes, but only from directly above.

A few patrons found the orgy scenes too shocking and tromped out; but Lewis and Gramm performed magnificently, and the orchestra played the thunderous, jaggedly atonal score to perfection. All in all, the production was further proof of the Boston Opera...
