...reasons of size, sequence or diversity of electorate, seven primaries out of the 24 loom as most important to a Democratic aspirant. Only Front Runner Muskie and McGovern can afford to mount extensive campaigns in all seven, an enterprise that TIME correspondents calculate could cost more than $8,000,000. A situation report on the key seven...
Energy Policy. Beyond the environmental fight loom arguments over international law, politics and economics. Americans use 5 billion bbl. of oil a year, and the industry estimates that domestic demand will double by 1985. But proven U.S. reserves-chiefly in Texas, Louisiana and Alaska -are only 39 billion bbl. Oilmen insist that unless great new domestic deposits are found and exploited, the U.S. will become dangerously dependent on the politically mercurial oil-producing countries of the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. Further, big oil discoveries in the U.S. Northeast would sharply cut the costs of transporting oil to those...
Ghost Town. Today Pruitt-lgoe is a case study in misery. Three-fourths of its 2,800 apartments stand empty. Rows of abandoned, windowless buildings loom against St. Louis' skyline like a modern ghost town. Yamasaki's galleries, ill-lighted and unpainted, are havens for junkies and muggers...

In Hair O'Horgan set a similar kind of group grope to a rock upbeat. In Lenny, a crowd of gigantic papier-mâché figures symbolizing his fantasies loom over the doomed comic Lenny Bruce.

O'Horgan explains simply: "I like to fill the stage with lots of things...
...entanglement in the courts, and even his vaulting fantasies into a fluid continuum up, down and around the multilevel stage. Lenny was a microphone man; mikes perpetually cut in and out, held and handled as integral parts of the action. Giant effigies from Lenny's pain-filled mind loom and dangle suddenly into the set: Dracula, Jackie Kennedy, Little Orphan Annie, Richard Nixon. Even Hitler (in five-foot boots) and Eichmann (in his glass booth) stalk in for a turn. Some of the visual hyperbole misfires-notably an inchoate anti-church mélange with Moses and Christ turning...
