...destruction more effectively than does all of Fail Safe. But Lument's camera work, instead of adding to Fail Safe's statement, merely wears out the viewer with its monotonous tension. He uses all the standard melodramatic shots, close-ups of sweating brows and tight lips, prolonged views of radar screens and bug-eyed pilots in oxygen masks. This technique is a device for making the viewer nervous and reinforcing tension in the film. But used too heavily, as it is in Fail Safe, the technique becomes irritating...
...reached Khabarovsk, Russian security police broke into their hotel rooms, held them prisoner for six hours, finally allowed them to proceed on their way to Tokyo-after confiscating what Moscow claimed were more than 900 photographs and 26 notebooks packed with "intelligence data on railway stations, bridges, tunnels, radar installations, airfields, locations of military detachments and other objectives of defense significance...

Balanced like spokes on a bicycle wheel, protected from the weather by a golf-ball-looking dome that is the world's largest metal-frame radome, Haystack is now tuned and ready. Its tasks will range from radar tracking of a satellite 20,000 miles in space to holding a two-way radio conversation with a speeding space probe 100 million miles from earth...
...lines will show their movies free to all classes. What the passenger gets is sound and pictures that are surprisingly clear, though the new systems still have some bugs to work out. (American's TV screens are thinly gold-plated to minimize interference with the plane's radar.) The individual earphones can be somewhat uncomfortable after a while, but better, foam-rubber headsets are being installed. The earplugs are sterilized and reused-when that is possible. Last year passengers stole about 50,000 from...
...Kyprianou, Russia would soon be supplying not only mon ey, but arms as well in the struggle to outmaneuver the Turkish minority on the island. Since the Greek Cypriots were already adequately stocked with enough firepower to destroy the Turkish Cypriots, some experts assumed that the deal might involve radar equipment and antiaircraft weapons sophisticated enough to prevent Turkish planes from resuming their forays from the mainland 40 miles away. Such equipment would surely require the services of expert Russian personnel-giving Moscow its first real foothold in the Mediterranean...
