...SHARON SCHMIDT Madison...
...Shift. Then Drs. Jesse L. Greenstein of Caltech and Maarten Schmidt of Mount Wilson and Palomar observatories decided to test a novel theory. When any object is moving away from the earth at a speed that is close to the speed of light, its light waves appear to slow down in frequency. Bright bands of the spectrum that are normally blue show up as yellow. Yellow bands become red. Stars have never been known to move fast enough to show such large light shifts, so Drs. Greenstein and Schmidt studied the strange spectra just as if they came from another...
Greenstein and Schmidt turned to another one of the five bright radio stars. The spectrum of 3C-48, they discovered, is even more peculiar than 3C-273. Study showed that its brightly visible light has shifted so far it must come from a galaxy receding from the earth at one-third the speed of light. It must be 3.6 billion light-years away. To look like a bright star despite its enormous distance, 3C-48 must give off 100 times as much light as the entire Milky Way galaxy with its 100 billion stars...
...brittle, sharp banter between four debauchees in their twenties who, in various Combinations want to seduce each other and corrupt an already confused undergraduate named Achilles (John Kemp). Gentry Sanger, our host for the evening, is a notorious faggot who "oozes into Widener" to pick up new boyfriends. Paul Schmidt plays him with reptilian smoothness. He wriggles and postures and drawls through airy marvels of sinister affectation. He is the devil in drag. His counterpart Ann Timmons (Joanna Vogel) coldly pursues men. She snatches up innocent victims like Achilles, inflames them and casts them off. Ann is supposed...
...extension of his own personality and his own unique approach to life, he must be classed as more of a jazz musician than a folk musician. Cahn sings everything with a German-Jewish accent which alienates many purists. But those who judge him in comparison with Eric Von Schmidt, Jack Elliott or Sabicas (depending on which type of music Cahn happens to be playing) miss the point of Rolf Cahn. To borrow a phrase, he's in his own bag, but that bag doesn't keep Cahn from being one of the most exciting performers in folk music...
