...generation and the folk-rock musical supposedly speaks to us and for us as Oklahoma cannot. But Tom Sankey's The Golden Screw is a pretender to the folk-rock name which rejects our commitments to urban-ness, peace and humanity and insults our perspicacity. It idealizes instead a Dylanesque young folk singer who goes through the protest song stage into electronic rock on the rock road to success. At the end, when our hero is king of the music mountain, he sings a last rock song about "Flipping Out". Then he asserts his individuality by saying "fuck...
...Golden Screw pretends to be innovative and exciting theater. The hero never speaks. He (occasionaly with other characters), merely sings in between dialogues which are directed at or about him, but in which he never participates. A one sided conversation is hard enough to pull off on stage. Given Sankey's trite dialogue, Alice Roach's direction, which is unobtrusive to the point of negligence, and M.I.T.'s incompetent actors, who tend to point their hands a lot and look bored on stage, the results was worse than a class play at P.S. 451--children are cute at least...
...chronic. The glut that has all but congealed the New York City metropolitan area's "Bird Cage"-Kennedy, La Guardia and Newark airports-now spreads confusion across the country and abroad, shredding connecting schedules in Los Angeles and squeezing service in Miami. Fortnight ago, "Black Friday" choked the Golden Triangle between New York City, Chicago and Washington with 2,079 delays. Black Friday now is every day. The situation cannot possibly get better before it gets worse...
...circling in tortuous holding patterns quickly exhaust their maximum allowable filing time. National Airlines by last week had canceled vacations and slashed 64 flights from this month's schedule. Northeast Airlines scrapped eight in one day. Last year delays cost the airlines $50 million. This year, in the Golden Triangle alone, they are hitting $1,000,000 a day. Uncounted-and largely unnoticed-additional losses come from air-cargo delays. New York Customs Broker Jack Hyams said that Kennedy Airport has freight stacked up "practically to the runway," with three-week delays for some local deliveries after shipments have...
...photograph of any major U.S. city makes it appear to be bombed out; vast areas are given over to empty plots and parking lots. These, plus railroad yards and even highways, would make ideal sites for future new towns within towns, of which projects such as San Francisco's Golden Gateway Center are only the earliest prototypes. Population will be dense, Owings admits, but city dwellers will get around more easily; traffic functions will be divided into layers, with pedestrians in the open air and rails and roads beneath them...
