...contrast to the humor, the lower depths elicited the most common failings of undergraduate art. Most of the dances which dealt with the anguish of love, or depression, loneliness, and death produced big empty cliches of movement: contractions in the solar plexus, rolls to the floor, and tortured embracing of empty space (including the dancers' own heads). Using quivering feet and fingers spread in agony to express their morbid profundities the choreographers seldom planned expression for the whole body. Still preverbal, they were seldom able to express themselves in the real morphemes of the dance--movement and energy involving...
...enter the lower or upper section of the cars from different lobby levels, depending on whether they work on odd-or even-numbered floors. Once at work, they will be protected from extreme fluctuations of exterior light or heat by deep gold glass mirrored to keep out most solar rays. This will also create a one-way view out during the day, while at night, bright interior illumination will permit the outside world an inside look...
Like ancient mariners, astronauts exploring the solar system will navigate by the stars. But when man finally ventures to the stars themselves, says NASA Mathematician and Physicist Saul Moskowitz in a Sky and Telescope article, navigation will become more of a problem. In place of the familiar and steadfast constellations he has learned to rely on, the star traveler will encounter a mystifying and spectacularly changing sky in which stars move, change color, brighten, disappear, and magically cluster together in front...
...Blue. Not surprisingly, as Moskowitz's imaginary ship moved far beyond the solar system, the appearance of the sky began to change. As the ship approached them, the nearer stars began to shift their positions in familiar constellations, eventually disappearing from forward view as the spacecraft passed them. More distant stars remained in relatively fixed positions. In the view from the rear, the sun faded from sight as the craft flew beyond a distance of 30 light-years from the solar system, while 45 Eridani loomed ever larger ahead...
Died. Dr. Alan T. Waterman, 75, first director of the National Science Foundation; from complications after surgery; in Bethesda, Md. From 1951 to 1963, Waterman channeled federal funds into the oft-neglected but immensely important field of basic research, passing out unrestricted grants for every project from solar observation to microbiology on a yearly budget that rocketed from $3,500,000 to $325 million by the time he stepped down...
