...time Richard Nixon Show, introducing to the nation the twelve men the President-elect has chosen to head the top Government departments. "The people will know more about their Cabinet than they've ever known before," bragged a Nixon staff member. Their debut was telecast live and in color from Washington's Shoreham Hotel, but not without some fancy logistical footwork: on short notice the Chemical Specialties Manufacturers Association, gathered in annual convention, agreed to relinquish the elegant Palladian Room, more than 100 other public and private rooms, and 14 suites for the President-elect and his entourage...
...return to prison set the stage for his crowning achievement. While at Leavenworth, he brought a lawsuit against the warden and the chief medical officer. Both, he contended, had ordered "unqualified inmates" to inoculate him with a drug that gave him permanent injuries. Claiming that they were acting "under color" of federal office at the time, the two men got their case removed from a state to a federal court...
...Seasickness. The interpretation reflected Weissenberg's desire to "take Chopin out of the salon, make him not old-maidish but masculine." In making the piece surge ahead with a calculated tensile force and precise gradations of color, he sacrificed some of the spontaneity and relaxation that Chopin's score invites. Weissenberg shrugs off the criticism that he is "an ice-cold interpreter, even an IBM machine," arguing that his emotionally objective approach is much sounder than that of pianists "who would nearly vomit on the keyboard to show that they are so sentimental and inspired. They have...
...turns fancies into facts and then facts into entire industries is much more. He may even be deserving of that overworked word: genius. The description seems to fit Peter Goldmark, 62, president and head of research for CBS Labs. Goldmark built the world's first practical color TV system in 1940 and invented the long-playing record in 1948. His latest discovery may well touch off an even greater electronic convulsion. In Manhattan last week, he displayed the first operating model of Electronic Video Recording (EVR), a new system that transforms an ordinary TV set into a movie screen...
...lunar-photography project for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goldmark devised a high-resolution film that can carry millions of bits of electronic information. That film has led to an even more startling breakthrough. Goldmark and his colleagues have managed to treat black-and-white film with electronic color codes so that it will reproduce full-color images. When the coded film passes through a special scanner, the colors are electronically retrieved for viewing on the TV screen. The discovery of this cheap color film is likely to stir a revolution in the motion-picture industry and may someday...
