...mystery throws proper emphasis onto that relationship. As long as this argument wasn't devised after the picture's completion, one can assume that Jewison and screen writer Skirling Silliphant were trying to use the elements of a mystery much as Antonioni did in Blow-Up: as a meeting ground for two individuals. But where Blow-Up deliberately stopped short of concluding its mystery, Heat of the Night begins with the news of the murder, and ends with the capture of the murderer. So Jewison's defense is hard to buy; there is no reason why the picture couldn...
Another HSA agency that doesn't require you to act like a Rotarian is the bartending service. Still another is the data processing agency, which hasn't gotten off the ground.

Then they put it to the crucial test of action. First they fired Surveyor's vernier engines for 33 seconds to consume more fuel and reduce the craft's landing weight. New instructions were radioed to Surveyor's memory bank and programmed into ground-based computers. As a result, the craft's main retrorocket began firing at a height of 26 miles above the lunar surface, instead of the originally planned 52 miles. It shut off at an altitude of only 4,400 ft., instead of 40,000 ft., after braking Surveyor...

Designed for the long haul, Douglas' 250-passenger "stretched" DC-8 and Boeing's upcoming 490-passenger 747 and SST will not even begin to handle all the future growth in air travel, which is expected to more than double in eight years. Flocks of smaller, short-haul planes are even now jamming air corridors and ground terminals. Reflecting the desire of many airlines for more seats but fewer planes is the fact...
