...work succeeds in isolating and containing the absurd, in all its tedium and inexplicability, if only in a sort of dadaist image, a kind of giant coffee can with strobe light. The boredom is less involving than in Godot, the texture of the prose less rich than in the novels, but by maintaining its peculiar notion. The Lost Ones creates a super-metaphor with a life of its own. Beckett's latest book looks at the world with intent, unshrinking understanding--and touches its expression with an uncertain gleam of the playful...
...Manhattan, where his four scheduled performances in Madison Square Garden drew some 80,000 fans and a gate of more than $500,000. If he sang like yesterday, Elvis looked like Mr. Tomorrow in a white cape and jumpsuit, covered throughout the concert by a blinding fusillade of strobe lights.

Indeed, the home to which the children would return seems secure and wholesome. Vlasta, a component designer for a construction company, and her second husband, who is working his way through catering school, share with her parents a comfortable six-room...
...offers the House Of Dust course. The class works with a House Of Dust sculpture, which is made from five tons of fiberglass. Allan Kaprou, originator of the Happening, gives a course on happenings, which is a happening. Several others give Multi-Media Laboratory II, which utilizes cinema, synthesizers, strobe lights, and projectors in combination with theater. Yet another course concentrates on music of the sublime, especially music that induces trancelike states. The mild hysteria underlying each of these courses seems born and bred at Disneyland. In the new Academic environment, the experience is given a new theoretical and often...
