Everyone connected with this enter prise deserves praise: the "News Close-up" staff for making it, the network for accepting it, and, though some have balked, the affiliated stations for carrying it. Nothing has been done to prettify this study of the effects of poverty, racism and some ineradicable germ of human ignorance. Near the end, one youth gestures emphatically at the ground: "I've been around here for 21 years. This is hell. Believe me." Seeing this stunning program is believing...
...knocking back the gin, she levitates offstage, and there is plaster in her hair to prove it. An other lesbian, Shatov (Elizabeth Laurence), arrives with her girl friend Elizabeth (Wanda Binson) in tow. Two homosexuals enlarge the circle of Mrs. Basil's menage, and the queerest sur prise of all is that, under her cafe-au-lait tan, Elizabeth is black, and her hand is won in interracial marriage by Mrs. Basil's beloved grandson...
...leaders. Up to 70% of U.S. phone calls are carried by microwave, and the Soviets have set up parabolic receivers on their Molynia communications satellites in the skies over the U.S. and on the ground to intercept and record the microwave transmissions.

The sanitorium itself is a welfare state Magic Mountain, set in Alpine grandeur that enables De Sica to display the saccharine cinematography that made his Garden...
Their deaths should come as no sur prise to either company or Government officials. Doctors have long suspected that asbestos dust is hazardous; there has been ample documentation of increased incidence of lung disease and cancers among people exposed to the mineral. As early as 1961, Dr. Irving Selikoff, 59, of New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, and Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, 61, of the American Cancer Society, confirmed the deadly relationship in studies of workers at a Paterson, N.J., asbestos plant. They documented their work in scientific papers and meetings. They also showed that even small quantities...
