...occasion the actors shrink before the magic of the Loeb Disneyland. The production is extraordinarily large and elaborate, and one could question some of its lushness. The stage area itself, for example, is too big and pushes too far into the audience. The music and the costumes are also a bit overdone. But quibbles disappear in the face of the storm scene which opens Part II. Lightning suddenly flashes across the huge area, revealing a Bergmanesque figure against a ridge, and thunder crashes out of every amplifier. The noise continues too long, but the whole effect is tremendously impressive. Donald...
...plans were enough to prostrate the most gallant music manager. Isaac Stern, Leonard Rose and Eugene Istomin-three top-dollar virtuosos-had teamed up to make chamber music together. Their audience might shrink to the size of the small halls in which trios usually play-and the take, of course, would be split three ways. But the trio had played an intriguing handful of concerts in the past, and bound by 20 years' friendship, they defiantly formed their alliance. Last week, solidly established as the best in 50 years, the Stern-Rose-Istomin Trio played their fifth sell...

In a few years black Africa will have nuclear weapons, yellow China will have delivery systems and the protection which the wide oceans provide will shrink to a ribbon narrower than that which separates white Roxbury from black Roxbury. If Malcolm X is right, then we will be doomed for the whole world will be no bigger than the island of Manhattan. The only prescription for survival is an America, a world where color does...
After the transistor came of age, there was still room for the venerable vacuum tube in the burgeoning world of electronics. But even though that world is getting bigger, its parts are getting smaller. Transistors, diodes, tunnel diodes and their proliferating cousins are getting more versatile as they shrink. And the vacuum tube is slowly dying out like the ancient dinosaur. At the annual exhibition held by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in Manhattan's Coliseum last week, there was scarcely a tube anywhere to be seen...
