...conditioned gallerygoers to accept art that visually leaps from the wall to assault the optic jugular. Much luminal art is similarly turned on. The USCO group of Garnerville, N.Y., can induce the hallucinatory traumas that occur in some LSD trips by means of blinding strobe lights-the visual equivalent of the electronic scream at the end of the Beatles' record Penny Lane...
...walk-on took only four minutes, but its Orwellian impact unsettled even hard-boiled Communist newsmen. Through a curtained doorway in Hanoi marched a husky American prisoner of war clad in purple and cream striped pajamas.

Packaged in threes for $1.95, the plastic-coated cube...
...Force helicopter based at Nakhon Phanom in northeast Thailand zipped over to Tchepone, a Laotian town overrun by Pathet Lao and Viet Minh regulars, picked up the pilot of a downed U.S. Thunderchief from the jungle. In a night operation inside North Viet Nam, another hovering helicopter used electronic strobe lights and flares to find a U.S. pilot in the jungle and rescue...
