...worth, opened last night at 12 Holyoke st. amid the usual "man of the year" pomp and will play six performances weekly for the next five weeks before touring in New York and Bermuda. Overtures in Asia Minor, Hasty Pudding Theatrical's 131st production, is a story of Near Eastern espionnage and intrigue. And, if the two scenes performed at last week's woman of the year" festivities are any indication, Overtures will continue the tradition of light-hearted farce performed by "dames" of dubious taste. This time the dancing looked stronger than usual, but the melodies are more forgettable...

...China. Museums such as the Smithsonian Institution in Washington and the Pompidou Center in Paris are mounting Einstein exhibits. In New York City, the American Institute of Physics is assembling Einstein memorabilia for a traveling show. The East Germans are sprucing up Einstein's old summer cottage at Caputh, near Berlin. Japanese Einstein buffs are planning a pilgrimage to some of his European haunts. Television too is paying homage with several Einstein specials, including the BBC-WGBH two-hour Einstein's Universe, starring Peter Ustinov as a wide-eyed student of relativity, and PBS's 60-minute Nova documentary Einstein...
...Einstein's new relativistic world, both time and distance are equally fickle and depend on the relative motion of observers. The only absolute remaining is the speed of light. Out of this theorizing emerged some bizarre conclusions about the effect of so-called relativistic speeds, those near the velocity of light. As an observer on earth, for example, watches a spacecraft move away at about 260,000 km (160,-000 miles) per second, time aboard the ship (assuming he is able to see the ship's clock) seems to him to move at only half the rate that it would...
...hanging between the wheels for miles. Two lovers appear to be ardently embracing by the Wall, but under cover of the clinch, the man is hastily snipping the wire. When the gap is large enough, the lovers rush through followed by a group of friends who were hiding near by. Others, in scenes reminiscent of The Spy Who Came In from the Cold, perish within a few feet of the West, or are arrested and imprisoned because they seek to be reunited with their families...
