...body, he gives the downbeat. Throughout the performance, Solti's body language is dramatically explicit. The violins are brought in with huge lefthanded scoops to the floor. The trumpets are cued by the riveting spear of an arm and index finger. A starburst of fingers summons the crash of the cymbals. Moments of lyrical romance come with the left hand cradled near the heart, the right hand beating coronas of love high above. Passages of staccato brilliance are paced by chopping up and down with both arms. A furious backhand indicates a sforzando attack; a hand moving slowly across...
...least $1,000 per man each month and were, he said, delivered in cash by Mrs. E. Howard Hunt, wife of one of the arrested men. Hunt, a former White House consultant, later pleaded guilty to burglary and wiretapping. His wife was killed in a Chicago airplane crash on Dec. 8; she was carrying $10,000 in cash at the time. McCord also contended that the payoff money was coming from the Nixon reelection committee...
Even more shortsighted is the President's research and development propram. If a crash effort costing perhaps $2 billion a year is not undertaken to make the U.S. self-sufficient in fuels -especially through liquefying or gasifying coal-the nation may well find itself either burning more polluting fuels (with higher sulfur content for example), or becoming heavily dependent on Middle Eastern oil in the not-distant future.

It noted that all six crashes, in which 257 lives were lost, occurred during takeoff and landing, "when the work load is highest and fatigue at its worst." In five of the accidents, "the crew apparently flew a fully serviceable aircraft into the ground...
...star Tony Musante as a cop who "relies on his wits and imaginative disguises" to bring the varlets to justice. Every fourth week ABC will even give the viewer science fiction cops and robbers. In Cyborg, Lee Majors will play a test pilot whose body is rebuilt after a crash to make him a superman-and a super crimefighter. Since NBC put its long-running Western Bonanza out to pasture last year, Lome Greene has taken off his spurs. Next season he will don a business suit to play the star of Griff for ABC. In keeping with next fall...
