...Nobel laureate who believes Safeguard to be sound in principle but not yet necessary to U.S. defense, replies that it is possible to intercept the enemy warheads with Sprints at altitudes below 30 miles, where radar blackout is not a serious problem. Further, the PAR installations are designed to overlap enough for one to take over the functions of another -at least in theory-if the second is blacked out or even physically destroyed by a missile that penetrates the ABM defenses...
...Kaplan and Glazier had known one another only through a loose friendship in the Crimson Key. Through Paine Hall and the winter, the increased political activity drew the two politically together.

Concrete Island. The most promising solution to New Orleans' problems is a proposed $350 million supersonic jetport to be built above the shallow waters of Lake Pontchartrain on concrete pilings. One drawback is that its flight patterns would overlap those of the present lakefront jetport. Existing flight patterns also crowd New York planners. Engineer James J. Currey Sr. suggests rearranging them to make room for a new pile-supported jetport in the shallows behind Sandy Hook. Space Planner Lawrence Lerner would create new landing space by (in effect) moving a greatly enlarged J.F.K. Airport onto a nine-mile-long...
Stroheim presents the characters and settings of each shot as directly as possible. Actors rarely overlap one another; all are fully visible; yet he saves his shots from being flat tableaux by placing his actors at different distances from the camera and by enhancing their different depths with lighting.

Prominent natural objects in the foreground play off objects in the background to make the space of each shot real and three-dimensional...
