...center help make him properly homely. There is an extraordinary amount of traffic in this play--entrances and exists, greeting and farewells. One of the most moving farewells in all drama is the parting of Irina and Tusenbach in Act IV--a fine example of Chekhov's oblique method, for the poignance derives not from what they say but from what they don't say. Miss Tucci and Bedford handle this scene beautifully --in both inflection and timing; and Bedford is most touching in his exit speech about the life-sharing quality of a dead tree swaying in the wind...
...metallurgy, extremely strong and anticorrosive titanium alloys have moved from the launch pad to the machinery of chemical and power plants. Several utilities are already testing chemical fuel cells of the kind that Apollo carried to the moon to determine whether they might offer an efficient, contamination-free method of generating electricity on earth...
When Americans talk about defense arrangements in Southeast Asia, they usually mean defense against China. But is China going on a predatory expansionist policy? That is not their method. Their technique is through people's liberation wars. Vietnamese, not Chinese, have to die in Viet Nam. The whole world has got to live with China.

He found that by counterpointing color opposites, which by the law of optics fused in the eye to form gray, he could attain at once a strong effect and a sense of overall harmony. The validity of his theory can be traced in an unusually...
Ultimate Sacrifice. If Fonda was difficult, his close friend and fellow Easy Rider was impossible. A compatriot of James Dean, Director Dennis Hopper has become the caricature of the surly, inarticulate "man, like I mean" Method actor. He had once announced to Fonda that "the first movie I make will have to win at Cannes." But his appearances in films belied the boast. The mad stare, the simian stance could have been reproduced, everyone thought, by a dozen actors. Everyone but Peter Fonda. He persuaded Terry Southern (Dr. Strangelove) to collaborate on the Easy Rider script, and talked American International...
