...analogously, that the orchestral conductor superseded the head-bobbing harpsichordist or violin list. Is the indulging of theatrical egotism and arrogance worth a return to the old-time lack of focus, balance, and precision? Both Sir Laurence and Saint Cyril should attend to wending their ways by mending their maze...
...part of a vast, largely secret U.S., Vietnamese and Royal Laotian effort to detect, deter and destroy the primary funnel through which North Vietnamese men and materiel head for South Viet Nam. The Ho Chi Minh trail, a 200-mile "logistical wonder" according to U.S. officials, is a massive maze of roads, bridges, waterways and paths complete with primitive motels. In recent months its roads have been paved with crushed stone or topped with pressed laterite. Camouflages of bamboo and branch roof it over where the jungle canopy is balding.

For thrill seekers, there is the Gyrotron, a $3,000,000 contraption that allows tourists to strap themselves into miniature rail cars and then be hurtled through a maze of environments that begins with a terrifyingly realistic "orbit" among the stars, careens on through the hellish jaws of a live volcano crater. On opening day, the mechanism broke down, stranding passengers in the volcano and providing Expo with its first mishap...

His subjects are haunted faces captured in the city's maze of subways, lunch counters, hospitals - and sometimes square, symbolic boxes that fade away into a phantasmagoric perspective under the baleful glare of fluorescent lights. "I respond to the urban environment," says Tooker, a native of Brooklyn who received his education at Andover ('38) and Harvard ('42), and now lives part of the time in Hanover, N.H. "Painting nature can be a kind of running away and an escape," he explains. "I feel I am urban...
