BACH: THE ST. MATTHEW PASSION (London). Karl Miinchinger and the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra give the masterpiece an interpretation that is lovingly faithful to Bach's design. It has an appropriately reverent quality rather than the overwhelming emotional thrust of massed voices that most often dominate baroque oratorios. Among the soloists, all competent, Peter Pears as the narrator and August Messthaler as Judas stand...
...chiefly the affirmation of the Negro's constitutional rights; only now is the U.S. moving into providing greater opportunities. Sargent Shriver's poverty warriors, for example, work for the Office of Economic Opportunity; one of the newest bureaus in Washington is the Equal Economic Opportunity Commission. The thrust of Shriver's program is toward creating employment and employable people, and its experiments may give guidance in determining what U.S. society and Government will do next for the Negro. For ultimately, opportunity is a good job−a job that lets a bent-down man lift...
...Edward Heath to launch his first parliamentary assault on the government as Britain's new Tory leader. It was something of a disappointment - a long and factual speech that even his supporters found some what on the dull side. Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who loves the cut-and-thrust of parliamentary debate, poured scorn on the Tories, dubbed Heath as "this Sir Galahad" who, he claimed, had deliberately misled the voters last year about the nation's economy...
...investigate the problems of manned space voyages that may last as long as two months. A pressurized cylinder about the size of a small house trailer, 10 ft. in diameter and 20 to 30 ft. long, the MOL would be heaved into orbit by the 2,400,000-lb. thrust of an Air Force Titan IIIC booster. But the size, shape and orbit of the capsule are the least of anyone's concern in a profession that already talks of manned journeys to the moon and beyond. It is the experiments that the occupants of a MOL will perform...
...intricacies of space mechanics. Computers at JPL took into account Mariner's speed and trajectory, its location in relation to the point in Mars's orbit where the encounter should take place, and the influence of the sun, the Earth and Mars itself. Then they calculated the thrust needed to get the ship where it had to be at the proper time. Without correction, Mariner would have strayed 150,000 miles away from target. After the mid-course maneuver, it was aimed well within its programmed 10,000 miles. A second mid-course correction, though possible, was never...
