...seepage was traced to a ¾-in.-long crack in the engine's manifold, where hydrogen and oxygen come together under extremely high temperatures and pressures. That crack was the result of an inadequately hardened weld ordered up to repair some damage sustained during manufacture. But when the No. 1 engine was removed, its replacement also showed signs of leakage. This time oxygen was pouring out of a heat exchanger, a situation that might have triggered an explosion and fire...

Using special sensors that can "sniff" the chemical signature of a gas, technicians traced the leak to a ¾-in.-long crack in the hot-gas manifold, where hydrogen and oxygen are gathered under high pressure (4,400 Ibs. per sq. in.) before combustion. Undiscovered, the leak might have caused an explosion. This week technicians hope to install a new engine, trucked from the National Space Technology Laboratories in Bay St. Louis, Miss...

...acts as a powerful affirmation of a people who clung to hope in the face of the caprice of Europe. Waletzky, together with co-producer Susan Lazarus, has produced a stunning documentary, digging up a wealth of stunning stills and creating an almost surreal setting. The eyes in the manifold black-and-white photos and primitive film footage peer out penetratingly. If the test of any documentary is its ability to capture mood and convey a message. Rabetzky and his cohorts have succeeded admirably--Image's subjects live and breathe...

...FELT DISAPPOINTED and unhappy observing this process, because the manifold flaws in Prum's Flute seemed to spring more from logistical problems, shortages of money, inadequate rehearsals, and the like, than from a hopelessly flawed conception. At moments, the subway-staircase flashed into sensibility--as, for example, a disheveled Papageno leered after business-suited women hurrying down the stairs. Somewhere in here there is a fascinating avant-garde Magic Flute piping away, waiting to be heard...
