...Lear Jet, supposedly has none of the liabilities of the old. It is powered by an external-combustion motor (which burns fuel outside the cylinders), uses yards of coiled tubing instead of an old-fashioned steam boiler and a special chemical preparation (to prevent freezing) instead of water. The fluid is sealed in, so it can't boil away. It is superheated to vapor by a burner that, according to Lear, "can burn anything from ground camel dung to high-grade gasoline"-although he recommends kerosene...
...from Minnesota exchanges views with the communist from New York. . . .Actually the conservative from Minnesota is hating the communist from New York for taking her hair curlers. Usually girls band together in groups of four or five that eat together and try to ignore everyone else, but things are fluid enough so that everyone has some casual friendships (casual in the sense of chance).

He is producing "a personality show or a ladies' show," she says. "He's a tall...

At the Monterey Pop Festival he turned his guitar into an all purpose sex organ alternately screwing it, eating it, and finally setting the thing on fire with lighter fluid to simulate an orgasm. Not the stuff of Blues musicians, I thought...
...theater, Fosse's fluid scene shifting seemed cinematic. On film, the process is reversed. Dance numbers are given coy subtitles, crowd scenes seem achingly stagy. Whenever he cannot provide a valid transition, Fosse makes the frame a mammoth still picture of his star -strictly for those interested in the north, south, east and west faces of Mt. MacLaine. Regardless of how attractive the faces are, that is not film making, it is map making...
