...medium: the trio for piano, violin, and 'cello (played, respectively, on this occasion by Bruce Simonds. Robert Brink, and Karl Zeise). The two works: Beethoven's Trio in B-Flat Major ("Archduke"), Op. 97, and Brahms' Trio in B Major, Op. 8--though Brahms' two later contributions to the medium press them hard...
...deadly perils: a pair of giant, swelling domes of blue ice that left them as exposed to the fickle Alaskan weather as flies on a wall. Some 1,700 ft. of rope hammered into the ice took them across in safety. Then came Camp Paradise, the first piece of flat slope they had seen in several thousand feet; Camp Fatigue, when at 15,000 ft. the altitude started to hit them; Balcony Camp, up another 1,800 ft. and just big enough for their tent with a 7,000-ft. drop below. The weather started to worsen, and they decided...
...Jackass Flat, Nev., the AEC carried out, and later announced in deadpan fashion, the first full-power ground test of the Kiwi-A nuclear rocket engine-an event most newspapers ignored.

...devoted to the art of the 20th century, the atmosphere is established by two great works in it--both of them by Picasso, both dated 1901. La Femme au Chignon is a pre-Blue Period work in which the elongations and winding curves of the Art Nouveau and the flat picture plane and pure colors of Gauguin are employed to render a mood which is Picasso's alone. The other painting, the Maternite, is a great masterpiece of the Blue Period, an altar-piece of modern painting. Its cool blues, El Grecoesque modeling of the light on the draperies...
...work of cinematic art, it is a sometimes ponderous failure. The fault is not entirely Producer Goldwyn's. The original Broadway musical ('TIME, Oct. 21, 1935), a good try at the great American folk opera, is troubled with an awkward, ill-paced plot-the last act falls flat because all the best tunes are used up in the early part of the show. The libretto, by Charleston-born Novelist DuBose Heyward, is full of the sort of amiable condescension toward the "darkies" that used to pass for progressiveness in the South. What really matters in the show...
