...that the future has come upon us so hard and so fast that the once-incredible magic of what's next now seems all too believable. And Futurama '64 is annoyingly hard to see, with its one-glance-and-you're-past dioramic layout-a sad comedown from Futurama '39's magnificent panoramic display...
...news that Adam Yarmolinsky has been sacrificed in order to get the anti-poverty bill through Congress [Aug. 14] comes as a sad shock to those of us who have known him since Yale Law School days (1946-48).

What's more, the show attempts too many things at once and too few of them really fit together. The actors on the screen, for instance, continually steal scenes from the actors on the stage-they are bigger, brighter, louder. As a result, the spectator...
