...natural heat traps. What was the origin of this fiery outburst, which Gold figures was 100 times more powerful than ordinary sunlight? Writing in the current issue of Science, Gold speculates that it came from the sun itself, possibly as the result of a collision with a large comet...
JEAN-LUC PONTY, ELECTRIC CONNECTION (World Pacific). Ponty not only plays violin, an unusual instrument in jazz, but he produces streaking arpeggios and comet trails of bent tones with a Coltranian intensity. This album, recorded with Gerald Wilson's orchestra when Ponty visited California last spring, should be enough to convince anyone that the violin can be a stirringly soulful jazz-solo voice. Classically trained, Ponty wails, shrills and sails through Hypomode de Sol, The Name of the Game and Scarborough Fair-Canticle...
...built, and have earned billions of dollars in foreign exchange. But such dominance will continue only so long as U.S.-built ships are faster and more efficient than anyone else's. U.S. aviation was in this critical condition once before, when Britain's ill-fated Comet series beat U.S. jets to the skies by nine years. After the Comet tragically failed, the U.S. easily caught up with the British planemakers...
...aircraft. Since the line valued the planes rather generously on its books, it figures to get $17.9 million from Lloyd's of London and other insurers - more than enough to replace the lost fleet. The true mar ket value of each of its three six-year-old Comet jets, for example, is about $400,000, but MEA listed each at $1,500,000 and paid appropriate premiums. MEA will also collect $1,500,000 for each of two destroyed Caravelles that were really worth about $900,000 apiece, and more than the market value for one lost Viscount...
Agile Intellect. On both shores of the Atlantic, new ideas seem to have deserted playwrights to lodge with directors. Of these, Peter Brook, a man of agile intellect and strong disciplinary instincts, is incomparably the most influential. He may be more of a comet than a planet, but currently light follows wherever he streaks. His Marat/ Sade, with its writhing choreographic movement and untrammeled vocabulary of sound, was the first step toward a revolution in drama: making the theater a director's medium...
