...speaks to an older Broadway audience, demanding that they search beneath the pounds of Hair to find an inner beauty in a world they've made unbeautiful. Abroad, it tells the world to bold on a hit longer: America is not just creeping imperialism, Cadillacs, ABM's. astronauts, anger, endless payment, pizza parlors, perversity of life, and too many Vietnams. It is the antithesis of all that is today as well.

Although the inner part of the corona can be seen through special narrow band filters without an eclipse, a total solar eclipse is essential to study the whole structure, including the outer portion, of the corona...
However one feels about environments and their inner spaces, there will probably be a lot more of them. The art display scheduled for the U.S. Pavilion at Expo '70 in Japan will be largely devoted to space environments, including a cavelike structure by Tony Smith, a rain curtain by Andy Warhol, a vast mirrored wall by Robert Whitman, and a fog room by Rockne Krebs. In a word, spaces are big this year...
