Practically the whole auditorium was on its feet, cheering wildly, beginning the chants of "Fi--del! Fi--del! Fi--del!" Except not everybody was cheering. Up on the stage, sitting in front of a massive portrait of Che Guevara, were the heads of the delegations, and it was one of those moments of total choice: you either cheer or you don't. Rodney Arismendi of Uruguay didn't. He had tried to play the role of chief peacemaker at the conference, and now he was defeated...
...male, the impact is more obvious if less real. In magazines devoted to his interests, the happily unmarried man is seen surrounded by elaborate hi-fi speakers (which he may never be able to afford), appealed to by makers of Great Books and good booze (which he may never read or drink), praised by haberdashers and hairdressers for his swinging singularity (which he earnestly aspires to), and pursued by indefatigably seductive girls. Once a docile follower of the style of his elders, the new bachelor finds himself the mold of fashion, with his mating plumage studied and envied by beaten...

After wobbling his camera in 60 or so pictures, demonstrating that film making is all in a flick of the wrist, could it be that, in his cinematic technique, Andy is finally going straight...
...projects, the conversion of the Bell Laboratories is by far the most ambitious undertaking. The building itself-where Herbert Hoover watched the first television demonstration, Jascha Heifetz recorded on one of the first "primitive" hi-fi systems, and Sam Warner made the first "talkie"-is peculiarly suitable, with its 10-ft. to 16-ft. ceilings, a cafeteria and an auditorium, all features that Architect Richard Meier hopes to preserve in the ren ovation. Tenants, to be screened by a citizens' committee, will be able to rent units at approximately $110 a month...
...here and now. Manhattan's Jackie Cassen, 28, and Rudi Stern, 30, designed the environmental light projections for Timothy Leary's psychedevotional Death of the Mind. Thomas Tadlock, 25, is the author of a winking, blinking color organ. It can be hooked up with a hi-èfi, responds with a special yellow bulb when it hears the voice of Mick Jagger, looked very much at ohm last summer performing in a Manhattan discotheque...
