...most admired Lady Macbeth, tried all three and unwisely settled on the last. Miss Nye says, "We [pause] fail! [longer pause]/But screw your courage to the sticking-place,/And we'll not fail."

...command decision to play down both The Great Society and the Viet Nam war and instead to fill up Bucky's bubble with lighthearted exhibits was made three years ago when the theme, "Creative America," was chosen. Said USIA Exhibits Director Robert Sivard: "These exhibits are meant to entertain, not to educate or advertise our wares." To work out the designs that were to be placed on escalator-linked platforms leading up to the suspended space-scarred Apollo capsule, the USIA picked a group of sophisticated young designers known as "the Cambridge Seven...
