During the past seven years, the Exhibition Center has offered shows that have ranged through history and art, from medicine and mathematics to modern sculpture in papier-mâché. Previous visitors probably remember the reproduction of Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel shown at Easter time, or the animated diorama of the First Continental Congress. This week we are opening "A Science Tune-In: New Horizons in Light and Sound," created with the assistance of Bell Telephone Laboratories...
...grown more secure and relaxed. Though he is still a chain-smoker, he abandoned nail biting when one of his daughters took it up. In a field where jealousies unreel at every screening, he remains genial. His praise extends to every film maker but one-Italy's Michelangelo Antonioni. "That is the one director whose sensibilities I cannot get inside," he says, possibly because the aridity of Antonioni's films is diametrically opposite to Truffaut's abiding humanism. Perhaps his favorite cinematic hero became the subject last year of a classic appreciation: Hitchcock, published by Simon & Schuster...
...desolate farm in an unnamed country live two brothers. In Godard's typical allusive way, they are named Ulysses and Michelangelo. Illiterate and indigent, the men (Albert Juross and Marino Mase) listen slack-jawed as two soldiers (carabiniers) try to entice them into fighting in the King's army, offering a catalogue of the loot and license the recruits will enjoy: cattle, Maseratis, naked girls, the opportunity to break children's arms and inform on innocents. At last they are persuaded, and go off to conquer the world. It is not long, of course, before the world...

The loot is a lampoon of Western culture: hundreds of picture postcards that juxtapose Ava Gardner's face and an Ingres nude, Volkswagen factories and the pyramids. In the end, the soldiers are themselves consumed by the anarchic "peace" that follows victory in which sound trucks thread the littered streets blaring, "Our enemies are democrats, Marxists, Jews...
...performance in 1932. Satchmo has since learned a little more about protocol, and his ten-minute audience with Pope Paul VI last week-the third Pope to receive him-was properly decorous. His Holiness presented Louis and Vibraphonist Lionel Hampton with medals. The jazzmen responded with a folio of Michelangelo drawings and a couple of autographed recordings-which ought to enliven the Vatican's record library...
