...effect of this one-way movement was to heighten the shared experience of the passengers even more. Passengers congregated in small groups to discuss their emotional response to the bomb scare, to talk about helping fellow passengers to ease the inconvenience of the time delay, and to share sympathy for missed appointments. There was very little verbalized hatred for the unknown person responsible for the bomb threat; the passengers concentrated on helping each other by talking about their own circumstances in their unfortunate, but accepted situation...
...their suits, the astronauts will be effectively prevented from contaminating the atmosphere. When they inhale, air will be drawn into their BIGs through a one-way valve; the air they exhale will be vented through a biological filter designed to block the passage of tiny organisms. Conversely, the frogman will be protected by a biological filter to screen the air that he inhales. Some scientists fear that these elaborate precautions-and those that follow-could be negated during the two brief intervals when the Apollo hatch is opened; alien organisms inside the spacecraft could take these opportunities to escape into...
...control over another. Instead, each scene is built on this multiple influence and resemblance, and all characters' appearances change according to their partners. They thus become less themselves--and, in a way, more abstract beings, whose forms echo those of other people. The firm identity that would result from one-way power over all else is softened by a complex view of identity which depends upon all people's being soical...
...tendencies). They also cramp people in space; echo people's forms (often to savegely ironic effect--the statue in Volski's garden next to which Fyodor stands looking up at Olga); and in these ways subtly influence and define people's appearances and actions. Here, however, the influence is one-way. People cannot change objects as they can change other people; objects resemble in order to mirror, to comment. Sirk's characters react at crucial moments against this unchangeability-with-mockery by smashing object (Fyodor's violin). But they can only destroy them--never shape their surroundings to themselves. Indeed...
American Seabees opened two bridges across the river to one-way traffic. U.S. and Vietnamese army engineers advised citizens on how to rebuild or repair their homes. The government pitched in with $85 allowances, the Americans with metal sheeting and cement to anyone who wanted to replace his lost home. Hospitals, schools, pagodas and churches were given priority for restoration. By Christmas the Phu Cam cathedral, partly destroyed in the battle, was reopened for Mass. Hué's isolation eased last month when rail service to Danang, 75 miles to the south, was restored...
