...Chat. For Addonizio, who has been mayor since 1961 after a 14-year career as a Democratic Congressman, the indictment came as something of an anticlimax. A state grand jury questioned him about local gambling last year. Federal authorities have had him under investigation since he and Boiardo were seen chatting at the pool of the Americana Hotel in San Juan, P.R., nearly two years ago. But their case against him really began to develop when Constrad's chief, Paul Rigo, went to the Justice Department a few weeks ago with his records. After he began to talk...
...career officer who has seen combat is in fact much more likely than a civilian juror to understand the strain on the G.I.s at My Lai. Professor Paul Liacos of Boston University Law School believes that Galley's fellow officers may well resist pressures from above to make him a scapegoat. Moreover, says Lia-cos, such men are "usually sophisticated compared with most juries, and it is harder to sway them by emotionalism...
Pure Chauvinism. Last week leading cosmologists caustically deflated NASA's universe. "I don't believe a word of it," snapped Caltech's Maarten Schmidt, who in 1963 identified quasars as the most distant objects ever seen by man.

THOUGH nobody planned them that way, the shows resonate with one another. They assert how we see and have seen-over the best part of a millennium, and right at this moment. The assertions are sometimes disturbing. Munich: 396 icons, barbaric gemstones strewn across the velvet sophistications of Orthodox theology. Brussels: three Bruegels newly cleaned to support a reflective commemoration. Amsterdam: 24 matchless Rembrandts, the best from each of 21 collections the world round. Paris: 304 Giacomettis, shyly revealing beneath surfaces textured like used chewing gum, a tender-hearted portraitist...
...Robert E. Thompson operate an assembly line. Ruby tunelessly chants The Best Things in Life Are Free, then crawls for the pennies people throw her way. A Harlow-eyed blonde (Susannah York) is in the contest not for the $1,500 prize, but for a chance to be seen by a movie talent scout who might elevate her to bearable unreality. When the marathon begins to drag, Rocky dresses the participants in track suits and has them race around the floor-an event that literally causes the ancient mariner's heart to break...
