...heroic" title role originally created by Alfred Lunt, Hal Holbrook conveys all the get-up-and-go, insensitivity, and mindlessness that anyone could demand. It is obvious that, even in his visit to Xanadu, Marco would not recognize a stately pleasure-dome if he saw one. David Wayne looks admirably like the 75-year old Kublai Khan, but he often does not act like one; I could not persuade myself that the man I was looking at was the man I was listening to. Zohra Lampert shows us an appealing Princess Kukachin, love-smitten yet unrequited; but she overexerts...
...vista dome is the byproduct of a search for something else. Three years ago, after surveys showed that auto buyers preferred the seating arrangement in Ford wagons (three forward-facing seats) to G.M.'s arrangement (two forward and one rear-facing seat), G.M. brass ordered Buick designers to match Ford's design. Ford was able to place its third seat over the rear axle and still leave headroom because it uses low slung leaf springs. But all G.M. autos use space-consuming coil springs on the rear axle and, to make things even more difficult, G.M. insisted...

Well over $100 million worth of fighter and attack jets landed on this island and were greeted by high winds and dirt. There was no place to sleep, let alone a place for the mechanics to work on our planes. Yet within a few hours, two huge geodesic domes were constructed that withstood all the elements as well as providing hangars for our planes as serviceable...
Just give me a home, in a great circle dome...
