...European Community investigation into the whereabouts of the missing uranium was frustratingly incomplete. Two months after the Scheersberg A sailed from Antwerp, the Common Market's atomic energy agency (Euratom) routinely asked the Italian paint company SAICA whether the uranium had arrived. When told no, Euratom began an inquiry into what it called the "Plumbat Affair." The search was hampered by the agency's lack of police powers, and after a few months Euratom called on security forces of the Western nations for help. A West German investigation was abruptly -and mysteriously-halted shortly after it began...
...oxide from Antwerp to the eastern Mediterranean is not likely to be involved in so adventurous a mission again. Last week the salt-caked Kerkyra returned empty to the Greek port of Halkis, after carrying a load of cement to Benghazi in Libya on its regular run. Beneath the paint of the new name, dockside onlookers can still discern welded letters spelling out the old, outlined in cement dust. Scheersberg A has come in out of the cold...
...worked on the Hennessey bright barn of portraits. With the farmer won over, the whole community would pitch in with the spirit of a pioneer barn raising. Local merchants contributed paintbrushes, rollers, tarps and scaffolding. Adult volunteers provided transportation and meals. Pittsburgh Plate Glass and Sears, Roebuck supplied the paint.

...rural mural program has brought praise from all sides. Kenneth Ray, assistant art professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, likens the paintings to "an outdoor museum." Governor Patrick Lucey sees the inspiration for "other projects that blend art with life." The kids are delighted, of course. "My folks were real proud of me," says Nick Folley, 16, who worked on the blue cow. With no mural to paint, "I would have sat around and done nothing, I suppose," he says. Meanwhile, Rouby has been getting inquiries from all over the country on how to start up similar ventures...
...leads of the power of memory. Nor is the Hugh Wheeler book, based on Ingmar Bergman's enchanting movie Smiles of a Summer's Night, in a class with Sondheim's score. But, in the end, the chief culprit is again Sanek's weak direction, which fails either to paint the frustrations of mismatched love or to create the mood of enchantment which resolves them. In the first case, we hear Fredrik singing while Anne mumbles to herself by her dressing table; in the second, a misplaced candelabra obscures faces confronting one another over Madame Armfeldt's dining table. Only...
