EXPERIMENT IN TELEVISION (NBC, 4:30-5:30 p.m.). An original surrealistic comedy by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl, "The Cube" deals with the complex problems of reality v. illusion. Dick Schaal plays captive host to various characters who visit him in his doorless and windowless chamber...
...Italians are concerned, could scarcely have occurred at a worse time. Italian Communists have made steady political progress in 25 years. In the most recent national election last May, the party won 8,500,000 votes, or 26.9% of the total cast. Its bloc of 177 members in the Chamber of Deputies is the second biggest, after the Christian Democrats, and makes it impossible for the Christian Democrats to govern except through a coalition. The coalition-Christian Democrats and Socialists-is increasingly shaky, and the new government of Premier Mariano Rumor is beset by accusations of disintegrating education and welfare...

A score showed up for a demonstration in front of Rome's crowded Chamber of Deputies building, having abundantly proved their powers by finding parking space nearby (180 others scheduled to attend failed that elementary test). The petition they presented to Premier Mariano Rumor requested that one thing which magicians admittedly cannot grant themselves: professional status and the government-paid pensions that it brings...

These councils will levy local taxes, prepare local budgets and plan economic development. If the plan is approved in the forthcoming referendum-and that approval seems almost certain-the regions may be able to "renew their personality," as French Technocrat Louis Armand once put it, "without having to do it through that monster that...
Unbelievable Velocity. With these characteristics in mind, researchers in Sweden, at Princeton and at Indiana State University have been working on a variety of complex experiments designed to detect tachyons-so far without success. Feinberg himself has suggested a massive, computer-aided survey of existing bubble-chamber pictures of particle collisions, hoping that someone may find a pattern that will confirm the presence of tachyons...
