...COREA, NOW HE SINGS, NOW HE SOBS (Solid State). The new pianist in Miles' regular group, Corea creates airy, crystal lines that have an almost fugal precision. Working here with Bassist Miroslav Vitous and Drummer Roy Haynes, the self-possessed young player neither sings nor sobs but delivers fleet atonal improvisations, buoyed by light chords that almost never come to a resolution...
...generally go no farther than the studio lot, where an idealized Main Street stood gleaming in the California sun. It is much to the credit of Director Francis Ford Coppola that he refused to accept that kind of prefabricated fakery. Bundling a handful of actors and technicians into a fleet of cars, he drove from New York to Colorado, filming a story about a young married woman on the run from responsibility. The result, called The Rain People, has such a strong sense of the U.S. as a dramatic character that Coppola's people tend to melt into...
...member party of sailors, scientists and newsmen, the 1,005-ft.-long tanker S.S. Manhattan eased out of her berth on the Delaware River near Chester, Pa., and set her course northward toward Greenland. From there the 115,000-ton ship, the most powerful in the U.S. merchant fleet, will turn westward into the passage itself, heading for Prudhoe Bay and the oilfields of Alaska's North Slope. Her mission is to test the feasibility of using supertankers to carry Alaskan oil to the markets of the U.S. East Coast. If all goes well, the Manhattan will make...
...size models, Detroit is determined to make a dent in the soaring sales of foreign cars, which captured more than 10% of the total U.S. market last year for the first time since 1959. A decade ago, Detroit responded to the inroads of foreign competition by bringing out a fleet of compacts; within four years, the imports' share of the market was cut in half. Now the auto companies are ready to renew the battle with yet another generation of small cars...
...Both sides maintain their present 1CBM inventories but reduce other parts of their arsenals. Under this approach, the U.S. could agree to scrap ten of its Polaris submarines, while the Russians would be permitted to build up their fleet to parity with the U.S. at 31 boats. The U.S. would phase out all of its B-52s and B-58s while building enough FB-111s, the strategic fighter-bomber version of the swing-wing F-111, to match the Soviet TU-95s in numbers. The U.S. would abandon Safeguard ABMs, the Russians would dismantle or neutralize the Galosh network...
