...Award at 30 with his music for All That Money Can Buy; of an apparent heart attack; in Los Angeles. Herrmann's association with Orson Welles dated from the radio days of the 1930s to his scoring of Welles' landmark film Citizen Kane. Later, for such Sci-fi thrillers as The Day the Earth Stood Still and Beneath the 12-Mile Reef, he mingled discordant wails of electronic instruments to evoke the sounds of rolling thunder or blood-curdling shrieks. Among Herrmann's nonfilm credits were his opera Wuthering Heights (1950) and a cantata, Moby Dick...

When Britain's Musgrave talks about "space music," she is not referring to synthetic sci-fi sounds but to compositions in which the players are directed to move about the concert hall...

...current television sets be equipped to play recorded programs that could be purchased and stored like so many hi-fi discs? Manufacturers have been competing for a decade to be first to provide a practical answer. Trouble is, both videotapes and films are too expensive to produce for the mass market. Standard long-playing records, which can be stamped out by the millions, cannot carry all of the information necessary to produce TV images and sounds; millions of electrical signals are required every second to create a TV picture...
...hadn't been able to reel any in. Then two Kodakolor snapshots of Whitmore trudging across the campground puffing on a pipe, wearing sneakers. Picture courtesy of Mrs. Ellen Scholl, Sheboygan, Wisc. The clip was ten years old--1965. Anyway, poor James Whitmore, star of the early fifties sci-fi feature Them, the hero of a couple of short-lived series like The Law and Mr. Jones, and a dead ringer for Spencer Tracy, is now getting a lot of attention for his portrayal of Harry Truman in this new movie, created from a play which Gerald Ford...
