Love Me Tonight. In the early thirties, when sound was new and unmanageable, and spoken words thumped dead on the ear, there were a few directors who saw the new dimension to pictures as something more than just a way to hear subtitles. The great pioneer who weaved sound and image together was the legendary Ernst Lubitsch. Not so legendary now, but quite the early virtuoso was Rouben Mamoulian. Mamoulian seemed to be experimenting constantly. His most accepted successes were on the stage (he directed the original stage version of "Porgy and Bess" for example) but his pictures exude...
...their cores are molten metal, both Jupiter and the earth possess mighty magnetic fields. Both planets also carry magnetic tails -or bulges in their magnetic fields -caused by exposure to the million-mile-per-hour solar wind, a flow of highly charged particles from the sun. Satellites of the Pioneer series determined in 1966 that the earth's magnetic tail extends some 395,000,000 miles "down solar wind" of the planet. The Pioneer 10 satellite, which recently passed Jupiter on its way out of the solar system, proved that Jupiter's tail is even longer. Pioneer...

Many of Carter's ideas come from-or through-his chief adviser, Lawrence Klein, professor of economics at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, a pioneer in using computer studies to forecast economic trends. Klein has put together one of the best-organized economic advisory groups of the campaign. It has recently completed work on a comprehensive economic program that Carter will announce this week. Among his other advisers are experts as diverse as Albert Sommers...
...made some small paintings by swinging a punctured can of paint on a string above a canvas laid flat on the floor; the resulting pattern of drips clearly anticipates Jackson Pollock. There was no chance technique - staining, rubbing, splashing, accidental manipulation, transfer blots - that Ernst did not pioneer; and if the work of his last 30 years (except for the sculpture, which is still much underrated) rarely seemed as impressive as his early collages or his dreamlike images of the '20s and '30s, it still bore testimony to one of the most durable and fertile talents...
