Such action could scarcely come soon enough. Even if Great Lakes pollution ceased immediately and completely, Chemist Robert Rainey of Oak Ridge National Laboratory reports in a recent Science magazine article, it would still take the natural flow of water through the lakes a shockingly long time to purify them. Because they are relatively shallow, Lake Erie could purge 90% of its polluting wastes in about six years, Rainey calculates, and Lake Ontario in 20 years. But Lake Michigan would need 100 years to achieve the same degree of purity, and Lake Superior would not approach its pristine state until...
Balanchine's polished New York City Ballet troupe gave the untitled work its premiere last week at Lincoln Center, and it was the most sumptuous and imaginative ballet in years. Typical of Balanchine, there was no story, but the way he molded the ebb and flow of dancing figures was as riveting as any narrative. Each jewel refracted a side of the Balanchine style; together, they showed a spectrum of radiance...
...Melisande and Shylock, unfolded a set of suave, subtly intertwining dances that managed to be at once sweeping and intimately sensuous. Dancers Mimi Paul and Francisco Moncion captured the combination of sophistication and passion in a pas de deux that was full of tantalizing hesitations but never without easy flow. In "Diamonds," Balanchine turned to the grand manner of classical ballet, spinning out variations that resembled traditional Russian dancing removed from the law of gravity. To the score of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 3, Suzanne Farrell, Jacques d'Amboise and the corps de ballet traced lines that...
...other refined products. It is initials that are in short supply. T.A.L. itself will soon spawn A.W.P., a 258-mile spur to Vienna. And some of T.A.L.'s oil will be shunted along from Ingolstadt to Karlsruhe via R.D.O. (Rhine-Danube Oil Line). Since that means reversing the flow through R.D.O., which was originally built to supply Ingolstadt, the line already has a new part-time name: "O.D.R...
...come for us to expose the consequences of the Administration's actions before the fact, before the country has been prepared to accept this further escalation. Up to this point, as American involvement in Vietnam has been a series of incremental steps, most of which have seemed to flow logically from previous steps and to be, in themselves, rather small, the progression of increasing destruction has come to be accepted almost as a matter of course by the American people and even by the anti-war movement. There has never been a clear confrontation of what these steps taken together...
