...timing the round trip of the laser beam, scientists will be able to fix the distance between the earth and the moon at any time to within 6 in. of the exact figure. This precise measuring rod should help answer a number of vexing scientific questions. By revealing previously unmeasurable variations in the orbit of the moon, for example, it should provide a better understanding of the nature of gravity. For if scientists can determine precisely how much the moon's orbit is increasing each year, they may finally be able to confirm?or disprove?the theory that the force...
...like Allen Ginsberg and lays claim to being a Marxist. He owned the Steppenwolf bar in Berkeley for seven years but, so the story goes, the toi let in the men's room broke down one day in 1965, and rather than lay out the money to fix it, Max simply sold the place and started an underground newspaper, the Berkeley Barb. Max, it seems, has this thing about money; he refuses to spend it, on himself or anyone else. Featuring sex, rebellion and kinky ads, the Barb grew into a going enterprise with a circulation...

The Scots seldom assimilate anywhere without a struggle, and Belfast is a lot closer to Glasgow than it is to Dublin, especially on a Sunday. It may help to fix the type if you realize that Woodrow Wilson and Field Marshal Montgomery were both descendants of Ulster. Picture these men locked in a small country with a bunch of unreconstructed Gaels and marvel that the place is as quiet...
When we last left the Ramparts Boys they were in a pretty tight fix: the phones were out, there was no more booze in the closet and, worst of all, they owed a million and a half dollars to angry creditors-including their archenemy, the Internal Revenue Service. When Leader Warren Hinckle III wrote the whole thing off, it sure looked like the end for the gang's magazine...
...even a play as nice as this pageant of misrepresentation and manipulation, needs to survive on a modern stage. Mr. McBain has apparently understood this requirement, but his intermittant attempts to provide are the sorts of cures that kill. Where the play cries out for a locale--a definite fix in time and space--he has staged it with settings as homey and identifiable as the mountains of the moon, and costumes suggestive of a Bulgarian re-make of Flash Gordon. The addition of a sort of light show-cyclorama, beautiful as it may be in the abstract works largely...
