Sophomore teammate Ed Ajootian nailed down the runner-up slot, propelling the bulkage 59 ft. 1 1/2 in. Eagle Joe Dray salvaged third place for the visitors, launching the hammer-like object...
...Barbara Hammer is a feminist filmmaker with a rather bizarre sense of humor. Her short film, Menses, supposedly takes a wry, comic look at the disagreeable aspects of menstruation. There are, indeed, a few amusing moments in it, but for the most part the film consists of naked women standing on a hilltop, legs spread apart, with a most unusual, watery, lurid pinkish substance gusing down their legs. The humorous highlights are a mock communion scene in which codeine tablets are taken in place of wafers and menstrual blood is drunk in lieu of wine, and when some woman with...
Hoping to answer that planetary puzzle, the Soviets last June launched two more unmanned spacecraft, Venera (Venus) 9 and 10. Last week, after arcing across 186 million miles of space, the first of the probes approached its target and released a small lander, emblazoned with hammer and sickle. After deploying a balloon-like French-designed parachute system, the vehicle descended slowly through the atmosphere and made a soft landing. Prechilled in the coldness of space, the probe's instruments survived 53 minutes on the torrid surface-three minutes longer than the last Russian lander. They radioed a flood...

...curators of the Great American art boom (circa 1962-73), not one tried to give an account of what was being painted in Europe. The reason, as everyone "knew," was that European art no longer mattered. Paris was over; London, a village; only New York had a hammer lock on history. This eminently questionable belief, fathered by chauvinism and fed by the largest promotional apparatus in the history of art, lay at the root of American art politics in the '60s and formed the taste of a generation of museumgoers. Now the retreat is on. An exhibition called "European...
