...much back-and-forth juggling of chronology as any film made by Alain Resnais-not to mention a comic acidity about marital discord that is as candid as anything the Swedes have said. Even a conspicuous failure such as John Huston's Reflections in a Golden Eye bleeds color images through black-and-white in a startling extension of the camera's palette. U.S. movies are now treating once-shocking themes with a maturity and candor unthinkable even five years ago: the life of drug addicts in Chappaqua, homosexuality in Reflections, racial hatred in In the Heat...
Life for a Death. The police pursue them relentlessly and, during one ambush, Buck's skull is split open by bullets. Blanche, wounded in one eye, turns into a shrill animal, incoherently rending the air with screams. Buck thrashes in agony, like a blind bull pierced with sword thrusts. Pain becomes palpable, and the actors became horribly real as the screen turns as bloody as a slaughterhouse floor...
...Terrace caught the eye of the Rev. Theodore Pitcairn, a Swedenborgian pastor from Bryn Athyn, Pa., and an heir to the Pittsburgh Plate Glass fortune. Pitcairn, now 74, who explains with a twinkle that he selects paintings not for investment but because "I have a feeling for them," bought the Monet from a Manhattan gallery for $11,000. Last week The Terrace was up for auction at Christie's in London on behalf of Pitcairn's Beneficia Foundation. The winning bid of $1,410,000 by London Art Dealer Geoffrey Agnew was nearly triple the record auction price...
...study he headed while working at Long Island's Kollsman Instrument Corp., Moskowitz and his co-workers plotted a hypothetical space flight to the star 45 Eridani, barely visible to the naked eye from earth and some 466 light-years away. Picking well-known stars in 45 Eridani's region of the sky, he fed data about their positions, distance and absolute brightness into a computer programmed to generate the appropriate star map for any point along the route of the flight...
Relativistic Implosion. Eventually, as the spacecraft approached the velocity of light, some of the stars ahead of it began to blink out; their light had been shifted into higher, ultraviolet frequencies that are invisible to the human eye. Others, like Betelgeuse and Aldebaran, which look red to observers on earth, actually became brighter: their substantial lower frequency infrared output, normally invisible to the human eye, had been shifted into the visible range...
