Other Places, Other Builders. South of Rockefeller's Mauna Kea, California Oil Millionaire Johnno M. Jackson is opening Kona Village in September, which will consist of 130 cottages spread around a lagoon, each decorated and designed in Malayan, Fijian, Samoan or Tahitian style. Public facilities will be housed in an authentic long house built over the ruins of an old meeting house. Because a tortuous, seven-mile trail is all that connects the village with public highways and commercial airports, guests will have to be ferried in by private plane or boat...
Memory Lane. So far, the coaxers consist largely of Harlem's Democratic Representative Adam Clayton Powell. Other New Yorkers recall Franklin's five years in Congress, where his absenteeism was to become a campaign issue in 1954. Republican Jacob Javits flattened him in their contest for state attorney general, which prompted Columnist Murray Kempton to write last week: "Roosevelt and his sponsors must hope that enough people remember his father and mother, and have forgotten him." Paul Screvane was much milder. Said he of Frank Jr.: "He is a very decent fellow, but I don't know...

Camembert & Wine. Plantlike, but not quite plants, fungi are rootless and leafless, consist of tiny threads (hyphae) tangled in a mass (mycelium) that can grow as much as half a mile in 24 hours. Lacking chlorophyll, fungi cannot make their own food, batten instead on fabric, fur, fat, paint, plants, plastics, skeletons, cold cream, jet fuel and people. One species can survive only on the left hind leg of a water beetle. Most fungi reproduce by the sexual union of two different spores, sometimes drop hundreds 'of millions of spores in three or four days. Most of them...
...flashbacks consist first of glimpses shot almost subliminally on the screen, followed by a somewhat organized grouping of images. The audience thus enters Nazemann's mind as he struggles both to recall and repress his past until consciousness finally wins. A dog barking on a Harlem street, for example, calls forth terrifying, split-second sequences of German police dogs alternating with the blackness of the Negro ghetto until Nazemann begins to see the dog tearing at his best friend's heels and the man clutching the prison fence in fear...
