...camera is not, however, essentially connotative, for the most part it is blindly objective, not rendering the particular subjective and meaningful vision, but merely variations in the intensity and color of light. Thus, heavily symbolic or metaphysical language must be abandoned because elaborate symbols seem absurd when taken literally as they appear on the screen. Even with the resources of dialogue, music, and the dance--which the film envelops--there is still a vast internal world beyond that of a pageantry that must be indicated. How to indicate reality simultaneously with one or more particular images of it, that...
...work, but in 1913, when Bohr was 28, he applied to it the strange new concepts of the quantum theory, which bewildered most physicists then as they bewilder most laymen now. The atomic electrons, said unclassical Physicist Bohr, cannot revolve in any old orbit. They must stick to certain particular orbits, and when they jump from one to another, they emit light. In 1913 this theory seemed "against common sense," but it won against all critics and started physics on the road to understanding the atom...
With this exchange, the Vatican radio station built by Marconi began broadcasting 26 years ago. This week the Vatican radio (call letters: HVJ, which have no particular significance) will go on the air with a far stronger voice: a powerful, new transmitting station (cost: about $3,200,000). Located on a 200-acre tract at Santa Maria di Galeria, twelve miles northwest of Rome, the 100-kw. main transmitter, more powerful by 40 kw. than Marconi's, is equipped with 24 Telefunken directional aerials (designed to overcome variations in signal strength caused by fluctuations in the ionosphere). A second...
...poor pay, bad quarters and a casual official unconcern for the soldiers' dependents back home sap morale. Most of the generals, according to Servan-Schreiber, are ribbon-happy pols who insist on military operations in keeping with their inflated status even when their sectors contain no one in particular to shoot-except innocents...
This is not to say that the performance was not well-done. Most emphatically it was, and Mr. Williams's careful and moving performance milked out every nuance of humor and pathos in his skillful adaptation for the stage from Thomas's prose. Particularly effective was his handling of Just Like Dogs, which succeeded so well because it concentrated on third persons, and was effective as a story because it did not depend on the rather weak comparison between Thomas and Williams. This is a very skillful and compressed piece of work which captures with economy and yet exactness...
