Most of the great films transcend a primary level of visual reality, that of superficial "slice of life" recording and, aware of the magical power of the image to convey an absolute truth, move toward dramatic metaphor in subject and theme, in order to convey ideas that will affect us, living in the one reality film cannot reproduce. The meaning of great film exists ultimately not in the script mechanics but in the treatment of script mechanics by distinct camerawork...
...signal a new era in civilian-pas-senger and freight transportation. Lockheed plans to put out a nonmilitary version of the C-5-the L-500-by 1971. In an all-passenger configuration, the L-500 could conceivably carry up to 1,000 people, which would allow airlines to slice New York-London fares...
...Beach, 4,100 sea miles distant. For 84 days, Vihlen bobbed and tossed in the prevailing easterlies, subsisted on little else but bread and water, yet kept his sea legs and once happily waved greetings to a curious U.S. submarine.

To push tequila into the really...
...maximum drip. On the walls hang dreamlike, deft pen-and-watercolor landscapes, depicting logs, brooms, brushes and other oddments, poking fun at the high turnover in art vogues, or the foibles of collectors. Modern Sculpture With Weakness combines a log nearly chopped through, a plastic wheel with a slice removed and aluminum tubing tied with string. The whole kids Roy Lichtenstein's slick abstract "Modern Sculptures" and a high-flown review that attacked their "weakness...
