Considerably younger than this group of seven is Henry de Leon (b. 1945), who has the only sculpture and photography in the exhibit. There is an untitled limestone piece done when he was a junior at Brandeis, and a recent wood sculpture called "Negrita." Both of these are semi-abstract, and beautifully rhythmed with smooth following curves. His twenty photographs range from middling to excellent. Particularly effective is the juxtaposition of an old Negro woman with moles, ten-thousand wrinkles and white hair, and a laughing young boy in swimming trunks...
Pattern. Karen's murder followed what is by now a pattern: the victim, usually walking alone, accepts a ride and disappears. Her body is found several days later. All the girls were brunette Caucasians, and all were murdered in rainy weather. Six of the seven were either strangled, stabbed in the neck or left with something twisted around their necks. The exact official causes of death: two by gunshot, two by strangulation, two by stab wounds and one by skull fracture...
...gases and vapors in the Martian atmosphere. JPL technicians explained that the spectrometer, which should be cooled to below - 400° F. to operate efficiently, refused to chill at all. Mariner 7 caused even greater concern at Mission Control when it went off the air entirely for seven hours. Apparently struck by a tiny meteoroid, the spacecraft lost its fix on the star Canopus and its directional antenna spun away from earth. A new roll-and-search command went up from Pasadena. Mariner 7 obeyed, and though performing at less than capacity, its radio functioned again...
...incident underscored the warning of U.N. Secretary-General U Thant just three weeks before, that the observers had become "defenseless targets in a shooting gallery." The observer corps is composed mainly of army officers from seven countries. The men live nine days at a stretch in concrete-reinforced bunkers, marked by a U.N. flag and bearing multilingual code names like Charlie, Delta, Kilo, Lima and Mike on the Egyptian side. On the Israeli side, the posts are named for colors. Neither combatant is supposed to locate weapons within 43 yards of the posts, but that rule is largely ignored...
...custom built. "I wrote to the head man at G.M.," he beams, "and said, Tm gonna have to desert you if you don't stop makin' cars for women.' " They fixed him up with a model deep enough to accommodate him, Stetson and all. Three of his seven children live with him: Aissa, 13, John Ethan, 7, and Marisa, 3. Two older sons, Pat and Michael, run Wavne's Batjac film-production outfit. And 16 grandchildren frequently wander around the spacious house. No one has counted all the people on the payroll; there are the folks at Batjac, the moviemaking...
