...twists in a jumble of conflicting drives to do the thing, not do it, and dissemble by doing something else. Her pale, strained face is a screen on which the shadow of one inner demon masters another, only to be mastered by a third. In keeping with the cinematically fluid rhythms of the production, Miss Smith cuts and dissolves from mood to mood like some dazzling montage sequence in a Bergman film. The wonder of it is that this is not a film, but stage art transmuted to a new dimension...
...Payne of the New York Zoological Society, whales communicate with one another by "singing" at deep submarine frequencies, sounding like sitar concertos. Other scientists are trying to discover how whales can dive to 7,000 ft., where the pressure would compress a human lungful of air to a thin fluid, and then resurface with no ill effects. But for all their mystery, whales have interested men mainly because they have oil within their hulks. In the past decade alone, 607,000 have been slaughtered, mostly by the Japanese and Russians. If the pace keeps up much longer, the whale...
...dominant image is the circle. Catch-22 is as cyclic as the Soldier in White, a mummy-like form completely encased in bandages. At one end, a bottle feeds fluid into the region of some upper vein. At the other, a pipe conducts the fluid out of the kidney region and into another bottle. At a given signal, preoccupied nurses exchange the bottles, and the cycle begins anew...
...down south," NBC Correspondent Welles Hangen and a camera crew left Phnom-Penh one morning last week, close behind a Jeep and a Mercedes carrying Syvertsen, CBS Reporter-Producer Gerald Miller and their crew. Unlike Viet Nam, where intelligence information is relatively good, the situation in Cambodia is fluid and newsmen are virtually on their own. When the two groups came to the last roadblock of Cambodian soldiers, they presumably flashed their press cards and headed on, unaware that North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops had moved into the area. The convoy had gone only a mile or so when...
...optical quirk. Now they have proposed a more plausible explanation: cosmic rays. Though only some of these high-speed particles-mostly protons-manage to break through the shield of the earth's magnetic field, they can easily penetrate the eyelids of a space traveler, pass through the eye fluid and strike the retina. At times, they may even hit the brain's optic nerve. Such bombardment causes no serious damage during a short lunar mission. But since the effect of cosmic rays on the body is cumulative-like that of X rays-they could present a greater peril...
