...musical within a musical, featuring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse as two cool professionals who warm up like toaster coils in the course of the production. Jack Buchanan, as the director, is a portrait in Orson Welles-like pomposity and does some hoofing to match the skinny master himself. Somehow Charisse managed to write a three-minute "classical" dance number into her contract, and in the middle of the shuffling it seems out of sync. But the rest just hops. In two clever parts dreamed up by screenwriters Comden and Green, Oscar Levant and Nannette Fabray star as two writers...
They seem somehow unlike this fellow from North Carolina. They're a tad anxious, perhaps, vaguely desperate and perspiring a little. Their shirts are coming untucked; their pens are scribbling. They are, he realizes with sudden horror, WORKING...
...balance the needs of the student and the young teacher and the University. Says Kiely, "I don't see how to solve that except to keep some kind of tenure system and keep a good rotating junior faculty. The rotating junior faculty refreshes the system. But if tenure were somehow or other to be given to all these wonderful young people they would cease to be junior faculty and become part of the system. The fairly shortterm rotation is good for the institution and for the education and also isn't bad for their careers. It's better...
...houses as far apart as Maine and Hawaii, rooftop solar panels are sprouting as the ultimate in status symbols. The units are often unattractive (one California city now insists that they somehow be screened), and can cost from $7,000 to $12,000 to heat an eight-room house. Solar is also being used by industry. Anheuser-Busch employs sun heat for some beer pasteurization, Campbell's Soup to heat water to wash its cans, Tropicana to steam-process its orange juice. Solar energy provides heat or hot water or both in a visitors' center at Mount Rushmore...
...least for its first half the show sticks to a purely historical narrative. We are treated to stories of maids during the '20s, nurses during the '40s, food during the '60s, and parietals and boyfriends throughout. It is interesting, though somehow one feels that history can be more exciting than the educational films you used to see in fourth and fifth grades...
