Though there was no obstinate mechanical shark to contend with, Close Encounters was an arduous picture to make. It was shot during a five-month period in early 1976 and took more than a year to edit. The locations?several of them deserts?spread from California to India; the launching-pad set in Mobile, Ala., used in the film's climax is six times as large as Hollywood's biggest sound stage, Spielberg "was forever screwing up schedules like a whirlwind," says Melinda Dillon, the film's female lead, recalling the strain. "He worked all night, every night?catching...
...recently concluded institute contract calls for the development of educational, agricultural and health resources in an isolated pocket of North Sudan. The Abyie district along the North-South Sudan border is 80 miles from the nearest railhead; during the five-month long rainy season, there are no passable roads out of the area. The native black African population, which opted to stick with the Moslem, Arabic north after the Sudanese civil war ended in 1970, survives through subsistence sorghum farming and livestock raising. HIID anthropologist David Sharry has begun the advance work for this project, out of communication with HIID...
...treated for lacerations, bruises and fractures of his right arm and two fingers. A few days later, the youth was released and sent home to Kentucky to recuperate.

Gaddafi dreamed up the idea for the congress during a five-month solitary retreat to the desert in 1974. It is the product of what he calls the Third Universal Theory (the other two being capitalism and Communism). As outlined in his single-chapter Green Book, the theory rejects democratic representation in favor of direct participation by the masses. Municipalities, trade unions and professional groups establish committees, which in turn choose delegates to the congress "by consensus." The congress convenes at Gaddafi's whim...
Last week Avery Fisher Hall was reopened after a $6.4 million, five-month crash reconstruction job. Said Fisher: "I hope they like it, because I haven't enough money to build another." No worry. The sound of success could be heard both inside and outside the hall. The man responsible was Master Acoustician Cyril M. Harris, 59, who could already boast of the fine sound at the Metropolitan Opera, Washington's (B.C.) Kennedy Center and, most spectacular of all, the two-year-old Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis. Conductor Pierre Boulez was pleased because the 110 men and women...
