Gund Hall. The graduate School of Design building, next to memorial Church, home of air-conditioned Sanders Theatre, has a good, cold, arty library where...
...enough to supply electricity, steam and chilled water to a city of 30,000 people they are, planning to build on Missions Hill in Boston. The eleven institutions, collectively known as the Medical Area Service Corporation known as the Medical Area Service Corporation (MASCO), claim that because of modern design a private oil-burning power plant can produce cheaper electricity more reliably than the competition Boston Edison...
Michael Ricardo, who plays one of the Duke's two partners in crime and doubles as choreographer, gracefully sings and dances his way through some dazzling production numbers. Ricardo has an elastic body and a fertile choreographic imagination--he's even managed to design a dance for seven people linked together in handcuffs. Two of the best numbers in the show are the dance routines that Ricardo does with the Girls--they're and empty-headed trio that does nothing but run around and giggle and snuggle up to Jimmy, but they make a great chorus line...
Advances in metallurgy and aerodynamics make such disasters much less likely today. NASA's Ohio windmill, for instance, borrows directly from helicopter design. Like a chopper's rotor, the 2,000-lb. blades can be "feathered" (or turned on their axes), by manual control; they will continue to whirl at a steady 40 r.p.m. even as the wind varies. In future NASA models, chip-sized computers developed for spacecraft will monitor the performance of the windmills and automatically command them to adjust to wind changes...
...next day was the meat and potatoes of the competition, approximately 16 miles of speed work, jumping and endurance. Dr. Dennis O'Keefe, mastermind of the stadium jumping course, explained some of the thought behind the design of a jumping course. "We're not out to get the riders but instead to present them with imposing inviting and jumpable obstacles," he said...
