Since his Godfather II role was Sicilian to its mol ten core, he spent six weeks in Sicily mastering not only the regional dialect but a specific local variant. Challenged to play the young immigrant who would become the Godfather already denned by Marlon Brando, De Niro armed himself with a video tape of Brando's performance. "I didn't want to do an imitation, but I want ed to make it believable that I could be him as a young man. I would see some little movements that he would do and try to link them with...
...specialists from the civil defense department, wearing rubber suits and gas masks, now are carefully examining and repacking some 10,000 drums of chemical wastes, many of which turn out to be labeled "concentrated orange juice." The poisons are to be transferred to the nuclear center of Mol, near Brussels, but scientists there do not have the means to get rid of the toxic stockpile either. The most likely solution: the poisons will eventually be dumped far out in the Atlantic. It is another place where no laws prevent cheap disposal...
...DEFENSE SPENDING. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird, under heavy pressure to cut further the $77.6 billion defense budget that many consider a prime cause of inflation, jettisoned the Air Force's six-year-old space-exploration project known as MOL, for Manned Orbiting Laboratory. By dropping the program, the Administration will save just over half of MOL's $3 billion projected cost. Budget Director Robert P. Mayo announced that henceforth the defense budget will receive the same scrutiny as that of any other department, instead of going directly to the President -though skeptics doubted whether the new ruling would...
...Things." Aerospace is now working on a score of projects that include the MOL (for Manned Orbiting Laboratory) program and Defense Department communication satellites. Such services as the psychologist and public relations counselors have been dropped, and the Air Force's auditing has been tightened up. "There have been no big bad things," insists Secretary Zuckert. The little bad things, however, took on enlarged significance simply because Defense has contracts with 300 other nonprofit organizations. Stunned by what it found at Aerospace, the House Armed Services subcommittee intends to look into spending and allowances at some of these...
...MOL will carry many more instruments than the much smaller Gemini. With its farsighted cameras, radar and infra-red sensors, its crew will be able to make more accurate maps of the continents and ocean currents than now exist, forecast weather and survey crop conditions. The orbiting Air Force technicians will also perform telescopic studies of the planets, and investigate the proton showers and other radiation from the sun. But the most significant work will be for defense. MOL can be used to reconnoiter targets, detect nuclear blasts and spot missile firings. Already the Navy has asked the Air Force...
