...failure to deliver on his inaugural promises of a year ago and ease Brazil's staggering problems of education. Despite assurances that he would "multiply the opportunities of education for all," the country's 41 universities remain rundown, ill-equipped and grossly understaffed; for lack of space, two qualified university applicants must be turned away for every one accepted. Costa is also spending only 7.7% of the national budget on education v. 21% on the armed forces. Though order appeared to be restored at week's end, the students' basic gripes remained, creating a permanent potential...
...week's end, disappointed space scientists were picking through telemetry attempting to discover what had gone wrong with the previously reliable Saturn. Preliminary analysis suggested that the two second-stage rocket engines might have been damaged during the separation of the first stage and that an electrical malfunction had prevented the third stage from restarting in orbit The misfires dimmed NASA's hope that the next Saturn shot would carry three astronauts into orbit. Instead, if further diagnosis shows that the rocket's ills are serious, it may be necessary to prove them cured in another unmanned...
...only tot up possible profits but also give a broad idea of agency problems. With the help of the expensive computers, and with payrolls representing 70% of total expense, the agencies have been able to cut back on clerical help and thus reduce such other overhead as floor space. As a result, they have been free to pay more money to the creative people they most need. J. Walter Thompson, biggest of all agencies, with total billings last year of $590 million, has even turned the situation into an intramural campaign. Chairman Norman Strouse refers to the new look...
...overriding logical gap in this weighty story is that the apes speak English: not only is it unlikely that our language should be preserved by another civilization millions of years into the future, it is inconceivable that an American space traveler should fail to wonder at this phenomenon on what he supposes to be an alien planet. But Heston expresses no amazement at his ability to communicate with his captors, and while screenwriters Rod Serling and Michael Wilson can rely on the existence of other movies in which interstellar strangers speak the same tongue, the flaw is no less glaring...
...been designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, on an off-day. A lengthy fight sequence between Heston and the apes achieves next to no continuity because director Franklin Schaffner fools around too much with the camera. But the apes themselves, if a cut below their remarkable prototypes in 2001: A Space Odyssey, could easily be worse--with lousy makeup or lousy actors. Kim Hunter, Roddy McDowall and Maurice Evans are the best...
