Lotus's Colin Chapman built the new cars, which have been termed revolutionary but actually are not. Turbines have been kicking around the Speedway since 1961. The only thing revolutionary about the new Lotus turbines is their ability to go fast...
...Solomon Islands in 1943, became one of the youngest generals in Marine history at the age of 43 in 1956, and helped to map U.S. strategy in Viet Nam. He was high on the list of possibilities for Marine commandant, but when that job went to General Leonard F. Chapman last December, Krulak decided to call it a career and put in for retirement...
...diction of the huge company assembled in Robert Chapman's production of Ceasar and Cleopatra is the finest I have ever heard in the vault of the Loeb mainstage auditorium. Every word and phrase spoken is clear, and the balance of voices is carefully, even scrupulously, maintained. A technical point of this sort may seem a strange point of departure for more general praise of this staging of Shaw's ideological spectacular, particularly since such matters as diction are always more notable for their lack than their presence. But the virtue of this Caesar and Cleopatra lies in the words...
WHICH is not to say the production lacks a sense of designed visual coherence. Although the settings themselves (for which no program credit is provided) are neither beautiful, flexible, nor functional--consisting largely of sliding stair units and walls bearing faded and indifferently rendered Egyptian wall motifs--the use Chapman makes of them is bold and consistent.

Their specifications are a carefully kept secret mainly because Andy is currently suing the U.S. Auto Club, which last summer passed new rules aimed at limiting the power of turbine racing cars. The few details that have leaked out seem to indicate that the U.S.A.C.'s aim was bad; reduced engine power or no, Granatelli's turbines...
