...INTERIOR produces the most startling revelations. One of the most striking voices since Elvis Presley and generous amounts of echo combine forces to sing about cutting up some poor soul to put in his television, radio, and refrigerator. His deep ringing voice makes Wolfman Jack sound like Porky Pig: it's no less than absolutely riveting...
...overcome. Also, though all vertebrate animals produce IF, it seems to be species specific, meaning that it works only in the type of animal that produces it. Monkey interferon works only in monkeys, mouse in mice and human in humans. Thus, unlike the insulin extracted from cattle and pig glands and used by humans, IF harvested from animals does not work in people. Lindenmann continued working with IF for about three years, but then left it, believing its puzzles could best be worked out by biochemists. "I spared myself years of frustration," he says. Most of his colleagues, aware...
Arts on the Line suffers the flaws inherent in any guinea pig planning project, and formidable economic and bureaucratic obstacles promise to bog down subsequent programs elsewhere. Yet there is something contagiously exciting about relating Art to Life. I'd like to be around when this funky new stuff gets moved into the T stops. I can't say I'd want to stare at those cows every day, but these people are on to something...

The kittens used by the juggler (a gent listed in the credits as Pig Eye Jackson) seem pretty confused, and they don't do much except twist a little in the air. Martin expresses his ambivalent disgust, but since he helped write the screenplay, and since real kittens, no doubt much confused, must have been used to film the sequence, the moviegoer feels somewhat ambivalent himself...
