...rate, Simon was brainily charismatic that Thursday, and his listeners approved. Smiles is a quadrille danced by four pairs of lovers, with a geometric literary netting at its base (all end up in the arms of those they first refused), and cosmic ironies at its outer limits. Simon developed analogies ranging from Mozart to Rilke, and worked out thematic love parallels which are, philosophically, ambiguously resolved: Whether innocent, inspired love is given only to a few, or whether it is an emotion that all men experience and pass through is left unanswered. Bergman celebrates the mature man's ability...
There is also a great deal of cosmic chatter about guilt, punishment and redemption. Ten Days' Wonder exudes a sort of occluded Catholicism, a quality that the young Chabrol detected in the work of Hitchcock, who has been a heavy and not entirely salutary influence on him. Everything is rather uninterestingly out of control here, including Orson Welles. When Welles arches an eyebrow he undergoes such convulsions that it appears he is trying to launch a great hairy boomerang off his face and into the stratosphere...
...effects of weightlessness (see MEDICINE). The strange potion did not seem to bother him on the second moon walk, when the astronauts took more core samples, picked up rocks, and pushed over a large boulder to collect soil from underneath it (so scientists can compare the effects of cosmic-ray bombardment on varying soil samples). They drove the rover several hundred feet up Stone Mountain and, after parking it on what they thought was a dangerously steep slope, they simply picked it up and put it down in a more secure spot...
Woodstock created the cosmic-scale rock festival; Altamont butchered it and Mary Sol may have killed it. Some 30,000 youths in regimental beads and headbands set out for Puerto Rico during Easter Holy Week for a bash thrown by the tireless festival promoter, Atlanta's Alex Cooley. For their $149 they got hopelessly inadequate transportation, a generally tepid show, exorbitant concession prices, scant drinking water, little emergency medical care, poor sanitary conditions and the tragedy of four deaths, one of them violent...
...scientific activities have been added. The lunar module will carry on its side special plates designed to detect cosmic rays. Young and Duke will operate a newly designed $2,000,000 electronic camera that can "photograph" ultraviolet radiation from distant stars, galaxies and giant intergalactic gas clouds, as well as the ultraviolet glow round the earth. In addition, the astronauts will set up four remote-controlled grenades that will be fired later by signals from earth and send sound waves through the moon's interior to help determine its structure...
