...Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Columbia; four records, $15) explodes with the same stinging ferocity in the living room that it has on stage. The poisoned rapiers are words, and they are wielded with lethal skill by the original cast: Arthur Hill, Uta Hagen, George Grizzard and Melinda Dillon. Those who wish to achieve a malignantly Woolfish rapport may duplicate the time scheme of the play by tinkling the ice cubes and spinning the disks, starting about 2:30 a.m. Match the cast drink for drink and watch the 5:30 dawn come up like anathema...
...while he sat drinking with them at his home in Saigon. "My sons, I feel very happy tonight," he said. "I am going to die very soon." Suddenly he keeled over, was rushed to a hospital where he died next morning. In his glass was found a lethal dose of cyanide...

Eleven other trucks and two cars crumpled together. One truck passenger and five truck drivers-one of them...
...Superhighways are a brand-new form of functional art, with elements that differ from the construction of any roads in history. The wrong kind of curve can be dangerous when one is moving at more than a mile a minute, and no curve at all can be lethal. The new art-science of freeway design forms the most original section of a new book called Man-Made America, by Planners Christopher Tunnard and Boris Pushkarev (Yale...
