...suggest, the mice would have to be narrow-gauge experts at something. But what? Certainly not cats, bells, belling nor, on the evidence, any other form of mouse defense Far from being "assembled experts," the young mice are obviously ill-informed brainstorm-ers-generalists of the most shallow kind-glibly tossing out solutions to a problem they don't begin to understand. The old grey mouse-a specialist, no doubt-saves them from folly by pointing out the enormous technical difficulties in their plan. As a matter of fact, the addition of one further specialist-a professional cat beller...
...equally dreadful fate would befall Apollo if it hit the atmosphere at too shallow an angle. Like a flat stone skipping on water, it would bounce off the atmosphere and sail into a large elliptical orbit around the earth. Having shed Apollo's service module before reentry, the astronauts would have insufficient oxygen and electrical power to survive the several hours it might take to return to the atmosphere and land. In Phillips' laconic words, "It's a crew-loss kind of situation...
...radical rhetoric than in results. The HUC is now in the process of establishing a firm commitment to real and responsible student participation in decision-making. We can do this only with a further commitment to following through on our proposals with hard-work and well-reasoned arguments. Neither shallow nor egocentric argumentation will achieve the desired ends; our means must be much more realistic. Maintaining a seriousness of purpose, maturity, diligence, and perseverance is more in keeping with the progress made by student groups thus far. In this way, I believe the HUC will be able to consider...
...another set of problems: primarily, how to add a wing to the existing building, in this case the Des Moines Art Center built by Eliel Saarinen in 1948. Pei's solution was to build a two-story structure behind the original, U-shaped building, thus totally surrounding a shallow reflecting pool that had lain between the two wings of the U. To further unify the two, he used rough-textured concrete to match the limestone facade of the Saarinen building. The result is so harmonious that Washington's National Gallery of Art has commissioned Pei to design...
...honest science fiction, Charly would be laughable at best. But with its contrived poignancy and shallow pretensions at making a statement about the supposed menace of unchecked medical experimentation, it is downright ludicrous. As the moron turned polymath, Robertson displays a certain flair for Chaplinesque humor. The impact of his performance, however, is lessened by Producer-Director Ralph Nelson's determination to prove that he learned how to be new and now at Expo '67: almost every other sequence is done in split screens, multiple images, still shots or slow motion. There is a modest redeeming feature...
