PERHAPS this all has something to do with why I was so gladdened when Robert Bly read here that Friday night when most of us were going or had gone to Washington. Talking into an Advocate tape recorder before-hand, he discussed a new sense of space in poetry, that feeling for the vast empty untouched universe of things to be felt and said. Besides the Orientals, who have always known where space is, perhaps only the Americans, with the expanse of physical space to their right and left, can strike it rich-even if their minds are just half...
...manned orbiting platform. But the accident delayed further tests of the rocket. The lofting of three manned Soyuz shots last month, for example, apparently fell short of its goal. Two of the craft were equipped with docking collars, but failed to link up. Why? According to Aviation Week & Space Technology, a major component of the planned space station-its large central core-never got off the ground. Reason: no super rockets were available to launch...
...moon 31 months ago and was not seen again until Astronaut Richard Gordon, in lunar orbit aboard Yankee Clipper last week, spotted it through his tracking sextant. Yet NASA months ago had planned the entire Apollo 12 mission around a successful landing near Surveyor. How could the space agency know the exact location of this tiny target in the vastness of the Ocean of Storms? The answer lies in a remarkable bit of space-age detective work...
Inside, a two-story structure will house seven major exhibits built around images of America past and present. The largest area will be devoted to U.S. accomplishment in space exploration, including a full-scale simulation of the Sea of Tranquility landing site of the Apollo 11 moon shot. American life on earth will be covered by a series of exhibits of architecture, folk art, and a review of the realistic tradition in U.S. painting, from Gilbert Stuart to Andrew Wyeth. A mixed-media sports exhibit will include memorabilia of baseball's greats. The U.S. avant-garde will be represented...
Many of the episodes-and actors -are charged with a peculiar magic that dilates space and annihilates time. Centuries collide; the imagined becomes surreal, as when Jean daydreams of the Pope's assassination-and the shot is clearly heard by a passerby. Or when a nun's self-sacrifice becomes actual crucifixion. But where he should use a No. 3 paintbrush, Buñuel too often employs a palette knife. What is intended as subtle Human Comedy becomes broadly laughable, as when Jesus and his disciples run through the woods in chromo-colored sequences, or when Mary miraculously...
