...Schell. And it is written by Abby Mann, who also carried off a 1961 Oscar for his script of Judgment at Nuremberg. But there will hardly be any such laurels for Altona. It is a ponderous, pretentious, interminable Germanic muddle of a movie, one of the year's noisier bombs...
Bulls & Chickens. In this case, as in thousands of others, the courts will decide on the merits of claims and on dollar amounts. But beyond the courtroom looms the bigger question of how the U.S. proposes to accommodate itself to an ever noisier jet age. The first railroad trains scared the living daylights out of people; in the early 1800s, anti-railroad interests spread dark warnings among farmers that the trains made bulls impotent and dried up cows' udders. For the air age, the classic case was U.S. v. Causby (1946), in which the Supreme Court held that...
Gadgets & Giveaways. As the ad war grew noisier, new deposits in S. and L.s during January's first 15 days ran 53% behind the same period last year, while bank deposits in some areas were doubling.

Ever more numerous jet planes scream overhead, unmuffled trucks roar through city streets, sports cars whine along once placid suburban roads, and missile-age workers are being exposed to the highest and most dangerous noise levels in history. "Noise," says Physicist Knudsen, "is the bane of our existence...
Dynamite Downtown. Havana has seen noisier days, including one with 20 bombs earlier in the week, but none worse. In place of the usual black-powder noisemakers planted in the suburbs, these bombs were exploded downtown and were packed with dynamite. The provinces were not far behind. Saboteurs on horseback burned out an Agrarian Reform Institute garage in Pinar del Rio, derailed the Havana-Santiago express train at Santa Clara, fired a Havana-Santiago...
