...output illustrates the question, picturing death in life, the swift passage of beauty as an integral part of growth, with a chilly poetry that haunts the viewer like the ghost of Savonarola. Crucifixion, a 7-ft.-high cross with a black, rotting cadaver, skeined by a cobweb of raveled nylon stockings, comments acridly both on the original sacrifice and its loss of contemporary meaning, while lesser works recall that Conner tried marijuana in the early 1960s...

Bundles of wire, previously exposed to dangerous scuffing and wear during assembly, maintenance, tests and flight, are now encased in protective metal panels that double as fire walls.

To withstand such heat, the nylon outer covering of the Apollo suit has been replaced by Beta cloth-an advanced form of glass fiber produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. Backing up the new fabric are 14 layers of fire-resistant material. Even if they were caught in an on-board inferno, the Apollo astronauts would have several minutes of protection while wearing the new suit. Big gest problem posed...
