...dreams with Rod Steiger and Marlon Brando in them (normal ones, I mean)? Anyway, Columbia Pictures is running 20 hours of solid movies today in honor of its 50th anniversary. Absolutely free. And depending upon when you receive this paper, you have a certain amount of time left to skip Greek 2740b this morning and hunker down in the plush, cavernous seats of the Music Hall in Boston for a few hours. You won't have to deal with anything. The marathon started at midnight last night, 10 films, the last six of which are From Here To Eternity...
...questions still stand after finishing Voice in the Wilderness. Perhaps Lamont's chronicling of his quiet, underexposed work for humanism, civil liberties and socialism is a desperate attempt for recognition from a retired fellow-traveler standing a half-skip, jump or foot away from the grave. Lamont wrote obsessively on the subject of death as a young man--philosophic studies, poetry anthologies, scientific debates on reincarnation and psychic phenomena.

He is called Truck because his methods usually carry a certain violent impact...
...biggest problem is the airport's vaunted Airtrans, a 13-mile computer-controlled system of tracked trams designed to transport passengers around the terminal perimeter. Because the system was apparently oversensitized, the cars grind to a dismaying halt if even a light bulb fails. The trains often skip stations or fail to open doors after stopping, while passengers inside bang on the windows to get out and those waiting to board bang on the glass to get in. Houston Industrialist Howard Purvis says that he was recently trapped aboard Airtrans "for two complete circuits. Finally, I got off close...
