...ponder the ideology. In The Conformist and 1900, Bernardo Bertolucci turned politics into opera; anyone susceptible to visual grandeur could be swept away by the characters' emotional arias and the camera's delirious glissandos. Now each has made a film about political kidnaping in a turbulent country-Chile in Missing, Italy in Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man-and has approached the subject at a more measured pace.

...Walesa and other nameless union officials and workers deserve our admiration. But let us not be sanctimonious about the events in Poland. The U.S. press and the Administration would have us believe that there is something new about a superpower cracking down on one of its pawns.

...reckon the universe's age and size. Trouble was that the Hubble constant proved notably fickle, as succeeding generations kept measuring the distance of different celestial bodies and getting different results. Admits Allan Sandage, who is using the new 100-in. Du Pont telescope at Las Campanas, Chile, to make his own measurements of the constant: "Everyone in this game is in disagreement...
