...Airplane may be coming down to earth. Recorded live for the first time, they change head music to body music as they repeat some old songs (Somebody to Lore, Plastic Fantastic Lover). Even so, acid rock is still the foundation of the Airplane, and the eleven-minute Bear Melt is a darkly mysterious throwback to their old surrealistic cerebrations...
...bears little relation to the man today. Wolfe's features are those of one much older, an adult, in fact. They are sharply delineated as if fine pencil lines have been added to what had previously existed only as a rather rough cartoon. His hands are pale, they melt into his white suit. If it were not for his relaxed gestures, they might look like those of Uriah Heep. Although his hair--almost red--is moderately long, it too is very fine, almost thin. Wolfe's humor is casual, often offered only tentatively, yet with a certain understated assurance that...
...ease its severe restrictions against foreign investment in Japanese manufacturing firms. General Motors Chairman James Roche recently called Japan "the most notorious" of the world's industrial countries for this form of protectionism. Veiled threats of retaliation-perhaps including import restrictions on Japanese cars-have finally begun to melt Japanese resistance. Both Borg-Warner and Ford are anxious to begin producing automatic transmissions in Japan with 50% local participation, and the Japanese government is expected to approve the arrangements soon...
That was scarcely likely to disturb Kim, who unswervingly believes that if he keeps on humiliating the U.S.-and pointing up its reluctance to retaliate-the ties between Seoul and Washington will melt away. Indeed, South Korea was angry and unhappy last week over Nixon's mild response to North Korea's latest act of aggression. Kim also hopes that the steady flow of infiltrators he sends south will eventually damage Seoul's fast-growing economy by frightening away potential foreign investors and force the government to put more money into armaments...
...rapidly expanding electromagnetic field-the EMP. Just as a moving magnetic field induces currents in the wires of a generator, the expanding EMP produces powerful currents in any electrical conductor it crosses. At considerable distances from the blast, these induced currents are strong enough to blow fuses or melt wiring and other metallic components in ground installations and aircraft. They would probably have the same effect on a missile's guidance and firing systems...
