...welcomed." France's Claude Lelouch (A Man and a Woman) has been signed to a multipicture contract at United Artists, as has Polanski at Paramount. The Iron Curtain countries are a continuing source of new talent, and Hollywood studios have dangled fat contracts before Czechoslovakia's Jan Radar, who made Shop on Main Street. Even the customarily aloof Antonioni has become part of the new Hollywood; his next film, Zabriskie Point, will be financed by MGM and shot in the Southwest. It will be, he says, about violence...
Moldy Stones. The obvious retort to Morris' life and vision is to say "Go found a monastery." This, in fact, is just what Morris first tried to do. He was just 21, an Oxford undergraduate who had inherited the then fat income of ?900 a year from his speculator father, and had acquired an enthusiasm for medieval art.

It has run one man's look at the sterility of the Yale graduate school, in which the student "is deprived by his life style of the use of his senses . . . reading mile after mile of the printed line." It has told--in the hour-by-hour style of Jim Bishop's The Day Lincoln Was Shot--the exciting story of Lady Bird Johnson...
Emmanuel G. Mesthene, executive director of the University Program on Technology and Society, called the present situation a "lean" period. "The availability of scientific funds goes in waves," he said. "Sputnik, for instance, led to a fat period and the reins were loosened. The war in Vietnam, on the other hand, with its increased defense spending, has led to a lean period. I do not see an increasing trend of tightening reins in government support. We are simply in a lean period...
