Before sunset the first day, 2,500 tourists had swarmed past the brick garden wall that he had laid himself, the intricate rockeries and the stream that he had contrived, by means of pumps, to recirculate uphill. Then they wandered through the rooms of Chartwell, the manor house in Kent where Sir Winston Churchill happily wrote, painted, puttered and sometimes governed from 1922 onward. Bought in 1947 by friends and presented to the National Trust, Chartwell passed to the nation at his death early last year. Now, for four shillings, the public may visit the place where, as he wrote...
Future Step. The choreography for the 34-minute ballet was also slightly schizophrenic, a mixture rather than a melding of styles in which classical techniques alternated with the swivel and sway of modern dance. The action was fluent and quick moving. It spilled out in a stream of consciousness that followed no clearly defined course but swirled into moments of great beauty. What Nureyev's flights of fancy lacked was strong musical accompaniment. Hans Werner Henze's complex score was dense without being deep, an anemic, meandering work that undercut rather than underscored the choreography. Nureyev was forced...

As Gemini plunged into denser atmosphere, the colors increased in brilliance: a sharply defined blue shock wave expanded, and hot, golden fragments ripped loose from the glowing heat shield to shoot past the window in a dazzling stream...
Serving a Minority. Responding to a stream of complaints from Southern church leaders, the National Council last December organized an investigative team to examine the operation. Their report, presented to the council's general board last week, praised the Ministry for serving a much-neglected minority, the Negro poor, and for justifiably keeping pressure on Mississippi leaders to change their feudal society. But the report also criticized the Ministry's failure to work with the local community, its less-than-candid activity reports to the National Council, and its fiscal casualness (1966 spending is $15,000 a month...
...Should Work. Heart of the Gourdine generator is a pressurized furnace that spews a stream of hot gas and fly ash down a narrow tube. At the mouth of the tube, the bits of ash pass a "corona discharge" electrode, a needlepointed piece of metal that carries so high an electrical potential that it sprays the surrounding space with a supply of positive ions. Picked up by the passing ash as it is boosted along by the hot gas, those ions move down the tube creating, in effect, an electric current. The electrical resistance that develops is overcome...
