Swiftly cutting from person to person, place to place, Resnais' camera leapfrogs through time, often with stunning effect. Even more daringly, he lets dialogue overlap-voices from one scene continue into the sequence following, or precede images yet to come. Sometimes confusing, the device at its best is a vivid projection of the simultaneity of events...
...fatal degree, the Mirror had become a copy that was nowhere as good as the original. Even its circulation was a dangerous overlap of the News's. A 1961 survey, conducted by an independent Manhattan research company for the Daily News, showed that seven out of ten Mirror readers also read the News on weekdays-and nearly nine out of ten on Sunday. Such duplicate readership is fickle, as New York's 114-day newspaper strike proved when it ended last April. Almost at once, Mirror circulation dropped by 85,000-the suspicion was that the defectors were...
...Federal Communications Commission now proposes to license a new television station, Channel 37, in Paterson, N.J. This will be only the first of nineteen Channel 37s which the F.C.C. expects to spread across the nation so that they will not overlap. Unfortunately broadcasting networks on this channel will transmit radio waves on the frequencies between 608 and 614 megacycles per second. Radio astronomers find this portion of the spectrum very useful because it is roughly an octave below (half the frequency) of the 21-centimeter line of unionized hydrogen. If Channel 37 becomes nationwide, all astronomical work on that band...
...Protestants generally prefer to see the wall between church and state kept high, the association this year issued a surprisingly moderate statement. It resolved that Christians are "citizens of two cities" who exist "in relation to the church and also in relation to the state. These two aspects may overlap but they do not coincide. Neither are they properly considered in conflict." The Evangelicals reaffirmed their opposition to Communism but warned Christians against making it "the church's sole or main enemy." Another resolution called upon the churches not to withdraw from a wicked world, but to "penetrate culture...
Three essays and three long appendices make up this pretentiously titled and somewhat garbled book. The six selections overlap frequently and slight many important issues, but two principal messages emerge, illuminated by occasional insight and cogency. First, virtually all other words on the Cuban revolution are misleading, largely because they do not recognize or will not admit the second message, that Castro initiated and carried through not one revolution...
