...drawing a heavy-handed parallel with the contemporary space race, the film's message-what mortals these fools be-nearly scrubs the project. But the detailed sight gags and the cast's irrepressible energy provide a variety of lunatic fringe benefits. Like the rocket, they go a long...
...city dump, despite its recognized potential for massive redevelopment, is another area where specific plans are nowhere in sight. The Planning Board, the Historic Commission, and other like-minded groups believe that the area should be planned in a systematic, coordinated fashion. Other interests -- primarily land-hungry businesses, so far -- seem to be pressing for a quicker and less lofty disposition of the land.

Likewise the redevelopment of Harvard Square, much discussed in general terms...
...lucky enough to get the intensive study and careful preparation is deserves, as in the case of Figaro. Occasionally, however, rehearsal and recruitment of performing forces are left to the last minute, with the result (as in Fidelio) that much of the performance is little more than intelligent sight-reading...

Today, younger artists are finding that they need even more room to explore their illusive imagery. The results are constructions (see color) that fall somewhere between two-dimensional painting and three-dimensional sculpture. The artists might best be described as working in 21 dimensions...
