Farther down the corridor is the computer room, which controls the "audio-animatronic" displays: banks of thick cassettes slotted into a blinking steel wall, 14-track tape loops piling and swishing inside their moon-shaped Plexiglas boxes, running across the heads like sepia fettucine. Every second, millions of impulses skitter down the cables, linking the Real-world beneath the podium to the Magic Kingdom: the Bear Jamboree plunks and toots, holographic phantoms squeak and gibber among the cobwebs of the Haunted Mansion, and in the antechamber of the Moon Rocket in Tomorrowland, a robot scientist holds a conversation with...
...seemed to be everywhere New Yorkers looked: on commuter train posters, in full-page newspaper ads, in a flurry of broadsides handed out by earnest young men and women on the sidewalks of Manhattan. The message of his coming was brief: CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS. NEW HOPE. REV. SUN MYUNG MOON. Last week, in Carnegie Hall, the Rev. Moon finally appeared in person to begin a four-month, 21-city "Day of Hope" tour of the U.S. His goal: nothing less than the unification of all mankind.

...Moon does not fit the standard image of the guru out of the East. At 53, he is, in fact, a millionaire whose holdings in various enterprises (including ginseng tea, titanium production, pharmaceuticals, air rifles) are worth perhaps $15 million. The business success has grown hand-in-hand with his religious endeavors, which began, as he tells it, with a vision of Jesus Christ on a Korean mountainside in 1936, a vision that told young Moon-then a Presbyterian-to "carry out my undone task...
...MOON CHILDREN, by Michael Weller. This is really fine--funny, sad, and as accurate a portrayal of student life as you're likely to see on the stage. If you already know what student life is like, but don't object to good comedies, you'll enjoy it anyway, 7:30 at the New Theater, 12 Holyoke Street...
