...Collection, one of the quieter works of a very noisy playwright, and after an hour or so moves to a mime by Samuel Beckett (titled, with cheery deadpan, Act Without Words I). Illuminations, a festival of electronic echoes and throbbing lights reminiscent of the best parts of The Ipcress File, brings down the curtain...
...spacemen themselves file a strong demurrer. To them, the commitment of man to the moon is essential. Says Chris Kraft, director of NASA Flight Operations: "After the canned man and the monkey flights, we found that by adding a man, you've added a tremendous tool.

But a judge would have to set forth in writing his reasons for believing that the defendant might be likely to flee; the defendant could then file an appeal to a higher court. The same goes for pretrial release and for the new law's provision permitting judges to impose the conditions for release, such as requiring the accused to report to the police daily. But the law has a key gap: except in capital cases and after...
