...piece de resistance at Anaheim is the scoreboard, which dominates the park from left-center field. Built in the shape of a giant "A", this electronic leviathan stands about 100 feet high and completely dwarfs everything else in the stadium--a totem constructed in that peculiar fascistic style designed to make human beings feel insignificant. Perhaps that explains the weird passivity of the crowd that night in Southern California. I have never seen such a well-behaved, quiet group of baseball fans. And just as the management had broken them with architectural grandeur, so did it seek to reconstruct them...

...fundamental cause of Palme's defeat, however, was the growing popular feeling that Sweden's government was becoming a Leviathan. There is almost no quarrel with the generous benefits of the cradle-to-grave welfare cocoon created by the Social Democrats. But Swedes have been increasingly concerned that the ever growing concentration of state power and the extension of bureaucracy into private life have already begun to curtail individual rights and liberties (TIME, July 19). Frequently cited as an example of the increasing arbitrariness of the bureaucracy was the harassment of Writer-Director Ingmar Bergman by Swedish...
...alone sailing a 236-ft. four-masted schooner in the Singlehanded Transatlantic Race. Called Club Méditerrané after its principal sponsor, the vessel is the largest sailing yacht built since before World War I, and Colas is the only man ever to try to skipper such a leviathan without a crew across the treacherous Atlantic. He hopes to make the 3,000-mile passage from Plymouth, England, to Newport, R.I., in 18 days, beating his own record of 20½ days when he won the last race in 1972 in a 70-ft. ketch trimaran. To control...
...Council of Love is a religious farce. But the Christian satire merely provides a vehicle for Oskar Panizza to raise questions about the moralities of love and sex. Shades of evil like Lucifer, Satan or the Leviathan don't figure in this play, the concept takes on the simple form of the devil. God might as well go by the name of The Father, it's plenty descriptive and doesn't wrench a person outside the bounds of ordinary human experience. Mary, the Eternal Woman, is indeed typical, for she cannot deal straightforwardly with sexuality, and her virginity has nothing...
