Bumplcins in Buckskin. As international expositions go, HemisFair is a minifair, only slightly larger than Seattle's Century 21 but only one-tenth the size of Montreal's Expo '67, the alltime giant. As a result, the exposition is "manageable in human terms," says HemisFair's chief designer, Allison Peery, meaning that all the exhibits are within easy walking distance. On the elevated "people expressway," no point is more than a ten-minute walk from any other, and for variety there are flower-bedecked barges plying the canals, a minimonorail, and that familiar world...
Since 1954, the Czechoslovak directors have carried off no fewer than 35 major international prizes for their films.

Another Drift-R-Cruz traveled along the inland waterways all the way from St. Petersburg, Fla., to Montreal's Expo 67 and then across the Great Lakes to Oshkosh, Wis., a 6,600-mile trip, occasionally towing as many as five water skiers at a time...
...year later won the same post with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, thus becoming not only the youngest conductor of a leading U.S. orchestra but also the only man ever to direct two major orchestras in North America at once. In fact, he conducted the two groups simultaneously: at Expo 67, he led them in a massed performance of Berlioz' Symphonic Fantastique...
