Tons of Danger. Sunday was a day of pure surrealist chaos. In Sag Harbor, a onetime whaling port, a fake whale was seen floating in the harbor; 15 pretty nurses lay down on three hospital beds set smack in the middle of the highway. But nothing matched the pandemonium on Montauk's bluffs. There the Montauk Fire Department's hoses and two foam makers were turned loose, sending gallons upon gallons of fire-fighting foam billowing down the cliffs. Joined by hardened surfers, who left their boards to join in the fun, Kaprow, like Moses, led his tribes...

...aerospace industry as a whole last year saw sales jump to a record $20.9 billion, with its backlog of orders hitting an $18.6 billion peak. This was the same industry that, after its post-Sputnik missile and satellite surge, felt its fortunes sag. As recently as 1964, the management consultant firm of Arthur D. Little, Inc., declared flatly: "Aerospace is no longer a growing market." Today the Little expert who presided over that report readily admits: "The Viet Cong made a liar out of me."
