...Canaveral, the blast-off and the brief, successful flight. Congratulatory messages poured in from the world's capitals. Few foreigners shared the cool scorn of the Parisian who growled: "The Americans are crazy, and the Russians are crazy, too." Nor did anyone west of the Iron Curtain echo Radio Prague, which called Shepard's flight "scientifically primitive." In Europe and the U.S. most space spectators agreed with Leonard J. Carter, secretary of the British Interplanetary Society: "The Americans had the right way of doing it. Unlike the Russians, they allowed us all to take part in the fantastic...

The biggest personal hit at Venice was U.S. Composer William Smith, a member of the original Dave Brubeck Octet. While his eight-minute electronic Improvisation, replete with amplified clarinet key clicks, breath noises, and echo chamber effects, boomed over the loudspeakers, Clarinetist Smith stood by improvising. For the only time in the entire congress, the audience was moved to applause...
