...Green for "Go." From the start, however, miscalculation by the program's planners set back the whole campaign. Indian experts now laugh at the Nehru government's drive to control births through the rhythm method. Even then it was known that peasant women, because of their exhausting chores and lack of nourishment, usually have irregular menstrual cycles. Moreover, the colored beads that the government distributed to the peasants for keeping track of the days-green for "go" and red for "stop"-failed for the astonishing reason that many women never looked at them until the lights were...
...Narrow pools of water run along the base of each wall; small contrariwise triangles beside the pools conceal spotlights. From the air, the monolithic walls appear to be the blades of some gigantic turbine. From the surrounding park land, they seem more like a miniature granite mountainscape, with the green lawn between the walls funneling in ward to a massive 32-ft. cube of highly polished granite. The granite cube will be lifted so that it seems to hover above the ground, and will bear a halftone visage of F.D.R. sandblasted into the stone. The voice of the late President...
Blow-Up. An open Land Rover loaded to the head lamps with deliriously screaming people roars through London town.

At 53, Lombardi is the toughest coach of the toughest team in pro football, a team that has won 12 out of 14 games this year, come within four points of an undefeated season, held its opponents to an average of 11.6 points a game. It is a team that is a strong favorite (by seven points) to beat the Dallas Cowboys for the N.F.L. title next week, and it will be an even stronger favorite - once past...
...when he died three months ago at 49, his production was entrusted to his assistant, Peter Lehmann. Still, symbolically, Wieland was there. And fittingly so, for symbolism was his stock in trade. Lohengrin was garbed in heroic gold, Elsa in innocent white, Telramund in malevolent black, Ortrud in sinister green. In the background were painted stylized designs of a madonna, a dove and a swan. The swan, unfortunately, looked more like a Boeing 707, but, said Lehmann, "I wouldn't dare change it, because that's the way Wieland drew...
