...working windmill-shaped solar wings atop Skylab's telescope mount, and from fuel cells in the adjoining Apollo command module, was only about half what scientists had considered necessary for the mission. But by prudent rationing (turning off unnecessary lights, curtailing some experiments), the astronauts were able to perform most of their scheduled tasks. When they flipped Skylab over to begin earth-surveying photography with six high-resolution cameras, the functioning solar panels were turned away from the sun, forcing the spacecraft to rely temporarily on its storage batteries...
...composer's "passionate feeling for friendship and love." In an awkward bit of balletic literalness, Cranko carries out the friendship gim mick by having the four principals periodically link up on stage in studied poses of togetherness.

The other bands absorbed so much of their respective black idol's life-style that they'd ravage themselves physically and emotionally so they'd wind up sounding like Muddy Waters on a bad night. They also didn't swing. One group, however, that had fallen into none of these snares was a high-powered blues band that first appeared on the scene during that mid-sixties revivification of electrified blues. Led by a Chicago boy well-versed...
