...around Kallia, as sprinklers shoot jets of fresh water high in the air. Massey-Ferguson cultivators dig furrows, and Kallia's first crop of yellow corn is sprouting. One acre has been set aside for a hydroponic plot. Nutrients and chemicals from a 60,000-gal-lon fiber-glass reservoir wash long rows of coal-black tuff, a cinderlike debris of volcanic lava brought from the Golan Heights. In the tuff are melon and tomato seeds that may, thanks to the hydroponic forced feeding, yield up to ten times a normal crop. All told, the Israeli government has invested...
Harlan Ellison, a California freelance writer, recalls a harrowing night in San Diego three years ago when he was touring with the Rolling Stones. Spotting a young groupie crawling along the ledge outside his second-floor hotel room, he opened a sliding glass door to let her in, but she slipped, fell into the ocean-breaking her wrist-and had to be fished out by the Coast Guard. Ellison had barely recovered from that fright when another girl walked through his door and asked him if he was a friend of the Stones. When he said yes, she stripped...
...building Director James Elliott gave Staff Designer Lawrence Channing a free hand to house the Atheneum's distinguished pottery and ironwork. Channing devised pyramidal plastic enclosures which permit the pottery to be viewed from every side and eliminate light reflections-a vast improvement on the standard flat, glass-topped case. Ironwork is mounted on open, tentlike forms. To show off the unique collection of ballet costumes, triangular booths were set in surrealist space across wide expanses of floor. Thus the viewer can wander around and encounter each costume-clad dummy individually, each as isolated and unexpected as a presence...

The innovation, comparable to the introduction of fiber-glass poles in pole vaulting or metal rackets in tennis, has revved up the pace of hockey and changed the entire style of play...
...FIRST breath of the play the stained glass windows light up, eerie and striking, their patterns pop, untrite and yet faithful to the spirit of the cathedral and religious scenes that one has come to expect from the medium. The stage is floor level, jutting on three sides into the audience and consisting of szthe skeleton outline of a large ancient building, the Priory Hall. Inside is a table set for dinner. This arrangement provides half the distance of the conventional stage and half the closeness of modern experimental theater, which is appropriate for a play that is largely static...
