Play As Prologue. Last week the battle was joined at Sloane Square's Royal Court Theatre, a small auditorium where advanced people gather to witness advanced plays. The current offering was The Tenth Chance, a first play by 25-year-old Stuart Holroyd, about a Norwegian resistance leader in World War II. By the middle of the last act, Holroyd's agnostic hero was beginning to find God in the extremity of his suffering at the hands of Nazi torturers. Up stood Christopher Logue, 31, a leftist poet passionately engaged in the campaign to ban the bomb...

Last week Engineering Consultant Stuart Luman Seaton told a Manhattan convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers that computing machines probably make less than one mistake in transferring 10²° (100 billion billion) digits. Humans make one mistake in transferring only 200 digits. So the machine's accurate figuring often goes for nothing because it must depend for care and feeding on error-prone humans...
...water. For the 19th-floor executive suite, U.S. Sculptor Seymour Lipton, winner of the Jockey Club's top acquisition prize at the Sao Paulo Bienal, hammered out a heroic, 7-ft.-tall Hero. There are more than 30 paintings, including a green, red, and white abstraction by Stuart Davis, a whirling Willem de Kooning, a locomotive wheel by Hedda Sterne and a towering Georgia O'Keeffe cityscape on the building's walls. A Calder mobile floats above a table in Vice President Block's office...
