...closed one's memory in the East Room and listened to the strains of the Army band, then looked around at the array of generals, Cabinet officers and dazzlingly beautiful women hearing the words from Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of the Army Stanley Resor, one would assume that the U.S. had won the Viet...
Ageless Wisdom. In the film 2001, Clarke's contribution as co-author and technical adviser to Producer-Director Stanley Kubrick is evident in such items as a weird but technologically probable talking computer that is more human than the astronauts. The film's ending, however, is almost pure Kubrick. A surviving spaceman is plunked into a Louis XVI bedroom after a psychedelic zoom through time and space that is mystifying to most moviegoers.

...past movies. She detected that footage purporting to show atomic-bomb damage in Hiroshima Mon Amour was not authentic, but had been lifted from an earlier Japanese atrocity film.

As it is, the cost of a one-minute commercial rehearsals, filming, reshooting, dubbing, scoring, animation, printing runs to an average of $22,000 or about five times more than a minute of TV entertainment...
Keating's dissenting colleagues worried that the road decision might lead to a rash of noise-damage suits by people who live within earshot of new state highways. Chief Judge Stanley Fuld took the trouble to write a concurring opinion that New York courts will not grant Dennison-style damages willy-nilly. But as highways reach out farther and farther, more people are likely to try Ira Dennison's tactics...
