...power plant, all underground, containing six huge generators with 17-ton flywheels. The construction, 90% completed, will be finished by the end of 1974. The 7-ft.-thick steel reinforced concrete walls are complete on the outside. Wooden stairs run up on top of the pyramid, out of which stare, one to a side, four empty radar eyes. These "radar support rings," as they are called, are 30 ft. in diameter, and will be able to track hundreds of incoming warheads from several hundred miles out. At their direction, the MSR will launch both long-range missiles and fast little...

The Clairol-bleached thatch, the Yorkshire accent and the owl-like stare through horn-rims the size of old Bentley headlights have become almost as much a part of the London myth as Twiggy. But a serious painter lurks behind the ruffle of publicity, and Hockney's new show, at New York's André Emmerich Gallery, demonstrates how wiry...
