...expression of pure energy crystallized in print. If rock and roll is one of the most important cultural phenomena of the last ten years, it seems to have had little or no influence on recent fiction, other than stealing away most of our potential novelists. (Most of the likely writers born in the forties seem to have become rock and roll stars instead.) Very few recent novels read as though their authors had been exposed to any rock...
...busily preparing a space spectacular of its own. On the morning of Nov. 14, only 117 days after man's conquest of the moon, the eyes of the world will again be focused on Cape Kennedy's pad 39A. Though the flight of Apollo 12 may seem like history relived, the second American effort to land men on the moon should be almost as dramatic as its predecessor. It will demand every bit as much daring from its all-Navy crew...
These days, there seem to be nearly as many newsmen coming out of China as news items. Five days after the release of Reuters Correspondent Anthony Grey (TIME, Oct. 10), the doors of a Shanghai prison swung open for a freelance journalist, Norman Barrymaine, 19 months after he had entered it.

As a proud American and president of a company that for four generations has dedicated itself to supporting the U.S.'s posture in the world, I say enough is enough. America needs to regroup and to rebuild...
...sounds that the cast utters are as arresting as if they were the cries of the damned in hell. On the rack of torment, Cieslak's body shudders convulsively from head to toe, and few athletes could begin to match the physical suppleness of a cast that seems as fit for dance as drama. At times, the company freezes in still lifes of agony. One is constantly aware of Cieslak's psychic pain, a pain beyond tears, beyond endurance, beyond escape, except by redemption. Religion and drama were once one and in Grotowski's ritual theater they...
