TEMPLE UNIVERSITY MUSIC FESTIVAL, Ambler, Pa. During a six-week festival of music and dance, the emphasis will he on chamber music, solo recitals, and the smaller-scale symphonic works of the masters-from Beethoven to Bartók performed by such artists as the ubiquitous Van Cliburn, Soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Tenor Richard Tucker, Cellist Leonard Rose, Clarinetist Benny Goodman, and Anshel Brusilow's Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Ballet will take over the Greek-style amphitheater on four consecutive Thursdays beginning June 27. Ella Fitzgerald (July 12, 13) and Duke Ellington (July 25) will add a touch...
RAVINIA FESTIVAL, Chicago, the summer abode of the city's symphony, is supervised by Conductor Seiji Ozawa. The long season (June 27 through Sept. 15) is made up of orchestral and chamber concerts, a short visit by the New York City Ballet, Daniel Barenboim's English Chamber Orchestra, a jazz-folk program and a wide selection of guest artists, including Pianists Alicia de Larrocha, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Leon Fleisher, Alexis Weissenberg and others of that caliber...
Though the search-by as many as 55 ships and 35 aircraft-continued at a diminished level, it seemed most likely that Scorpion had gone to the bottom in the depths beyond the reach of sonar, divers or the McCann chamber. Unlike the loss of Thresher with 129 men aboard, Scorpion's demise appeared to have nothing to do with inadequate shipyard maintenance: she ostensibly got a "Four 0"-i.e., excellent -rating in an overhaul only last summer, and had performed superbly in the Mediterranean. Had she not remained incommunicado in transit but been required to signal her position...
Last stop, but a favorite of many, was Stanley Landsman's Infinity Chamber, in which 6,000 tiny lights on the black, mirrored walls were reflected to create what seemed like an infinity of mirrors. The illusion of airy weightless ness thus engendered permitted viewers, in the words of the show's organizer, Ralph T. Coe, to "leap straight into the fourth dimension, experiencing what the astronauts have described when they walk in space." Still better, as far as the frazzled gallerygoers were concerned, everyone could leap straight out of the fourth dimension without having to worry about...
...electron beam maintains its focus and power for a short distance after it squirts out of the gun barrel and into the atmosphere. In earlier experimental cutters the beam lost its power almost immediately in collisions with air molecules; the target material had to be placed inside a vacuum chamber along with the rest of the gun's components. And since the chamber's size was always limited, so was the size of the job it could handle...
