...quarter, across Hong Kong harbor, where slides swept away a squatters' village. Three buildings on Hong Kong's Victoria Peak, where many of the colony's most expensive residential areas are situated, were also destroyed. One twelve-story building, with all its lights burning, seemed to tilt slowly before it plunged down the hillside like an ocean liner sinking at sea. Government officials worried about a potential threat to other buildings that have been densely packed together on the hillside. Hong Kong's clay soil becomes unstable when saturated with water, and so many buildings constructed...
Tentatively scheduled for May or June 1975, the mission will begin with the launch of a two-stage Apollo Sat urn rocket from Cape Kennedy into a low (110 nautical miles) orbit above the earth. At a greater tilt to the equator than the orbits used during the U.S. moon shots, it will carry Apollo directly over the Soviets' Tyuratam cosmo drome in central Asia. From there, the Russians will loft a two-man Soyuz spacecraft into a slightly higher orbit of 145 miles. Apollo will then begin a sequence of maneuvers, lasting another day or so, to raise...
From blackout, the dance moves to a striking processional--two men (John Noran, Kenneth Train) carrying a stiff Eugenie Doyle, her arms stretched beyond her head, fingers spread. They tilt her up and she slides down the backs of the two men, down the closely following Thaddeus Bartter, to the floor where she lands gracefully: the earth has absorbed all shock and accepted her into its fallow ground...
...Gothic we can't tell. What the dancers retain is the constant look, that stare that the painting gives to the audience; this time the stare is primarily between the couple, as their necks turn simultaneously, abruptly, glancing at each other across the floor. Whimsically, the two dancers tilt their arms in opposition, teetering from side to side in almost airplane-like glides as they continue down what seems a make-believe runway directed into the audience. Doyle is fluent and controlled. Bridgman a little stiff-legged at times, but they form a dynamic team--a strong portrait...
...President, the official campaign headquarters, some of the desks are still empty, awaiting the arrival of a staff-including Attorney General John Mitchell, who is expected to take up his old post as campaign manager. But one part of the Nixon drive has been operating at full tilt for weeks: the G.O.P. Youth Division is wasting no time going after the 25 million young men and women eligible to vote for the first time this fall. The early activity is spurred by the sound premise that the youth vote could be the key to a second term in office...
