...misconception in an occasional decision. [But] to say that everybody on the court has been wrong for 150 years and that that which has been deemed part of the bone and sinew of the law should now be extirpated is quite another thing. Decision-making is not a mechanical process, but neither is this court an originating lawmaker...
Three-Day S.O.B. Gunther's Insides have improved almost steadily as he has kept turning them out; he concedes that the years have made him "more guarded and judicious." Says he: "All those books have been a process of educating myself at the public's expense." With Inside Africa (952 pages covering 44 countries), he drew widespread praise from scholars and specialists. Inside Russia Today, in some ways his most challenging assignment, is probably his best book...
...Like to Try." Thiokol got into missiles in the same way the rubber was invented-by accident. Its researchers had found a way to process solid Thiokol into a liquid, and during World War II the armed services used it as a sealant for aircraft-carrier decks, pipelines, and the wing tanks of planes (the average commercial plane today carries about 300 Ibs. of Thiokol sealants). Then in 1946 Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, working on a radically new solid rocket fuel, tried mixing an oxidizing agent with rubber. But it had trouble combining the oxidizer with solid rubber...
Cinema's latest gimmick for bigger entertainment spreads itself on the world's largest indoor screen, and once again fails to prove that bigger movies make better movies. The new film process, tagged "Cinemiracle" by its sponsors, National Theaters Inc., has a field of vision (146° wide, 55° high) almost equal to that of the human eye (160°-60°) and, at the renovated Roxy Theater in Manhattan this week, got tucked in on a canvas 100 ft. long, 40 ft. high. Like Cinerama, Cinemiracle is shot through three cameras, translated through three projectors...
...ballyhoo the new process, Producer Louis de Rochemont (who produced Cinerama Holiday) hashed out a travelogue-type adventure of the Norwegian square-rigged windjammer Christian Radich and followed its bouncing cruise, wave to wave, from Oslo to the Caribbean to New York. More than two hours long-winded, the Windjammer splashes into numerous ports of call, catches some fine scenes of native dances and fireworks parties. Other good shots: Cellist Pablo Casals playing a Catalan ballad in a Puerto Rican garden; a panoramic tour of Norwegian fjords; a vibrant Caribbean sunset, gold and red against a serene black...
