HOWEVER, THE situation as it stands the complex only two options--keep the archives in Harvard Sq. or move the whole complex to another site--is less of a victory than the community groups bargained for. It would seem illogical for the Kennedys to want to split the library and museum sites and therefore dramatically increase the costs of construction. What the Kennedys do by putting all of Cambridge in suspended animation for sixty days is force President Bok's hand--for it is he who stands to loss the most right now if the complex leaves Harvard Square...
...Liquor sales were off, and the drab streets, lined with pawnshops, surplus-clothing stores and aging apartment hotels, were uncommonly empty. In the past eight weeks, seven middle-aged men, most of them down-and-outers, had been found in doorways, alleyways and cheap hotel rooms within the l-sq.-mi. Skid Row area, their throats slit deeply from ear to ear-and the killer had always struck on Wednesdays or weekends. Los Angeles police call him the Slasher; some vagrants of the neighborhood have dubbed him the Head Chopper...
...casual eye, the tiny (50-sq.-mi.) Italian island of Pantelleria has little to recommend it. Halfway between Sicily and North Africa, it has no beaches, no good harbors, no scenic little coves and no vegetation to speak of. Its one town looks like a slum-clearance project, and its 8,240 people are among the poorest in Italy. Volcanic springs, more like oversized tea kettles than proper Ve-suviuses, gurgle and smolder in the interior and, from shore to barren shore, there is not a drop of water fit to drink. Water, like almost all the island...
...docking maneuvers" that will be required in next year's linkup. (The description was somewhat misleading since the Russian ship will be the passive partner during the rendezvous; Apollo will do all the critical maneuvering.) The Russian spacemen also reduced cabin pressure to about 10 Ibs. per sq. in., or roughly midway between Apollo's 5 p.s.i. and the sea-level atmospheric pressure (14.7 p.s.i.) normally maintained in Soyuz. The same step will be taken during the joint mission before the cosmonauts transfer to the Apollo. Less difference in pressure will reduce the time they must spend...
...performing musician is quite as inflated as the virtuoso trumpeter. Preparing for a good high staccato blast or a long, breath-defying legato lament, the trumpeter can puff himself up so much that the air pressure inside him may exceed that of an average automobile tire (24 lbs. per sq. in.). No other wind player can make that statement. No other musician can literally become so dizzy so easily. No other has such a constant fight between muscular tension and interpretive relaxation and grace...
