...Recessional, hawed through the parable of the talents-and needled the liberals unmercifully. "I have great affection for the Senator from Tennessee," he cooed at Gore. "He and I have a great deal in common, including bull-that is, Angus bulls."* When he successfully escaped from a semantics trap baited by Douglas, the Illinoisan tossed him a barbed Plutarchian salute: "We will meet again at Philippi." Cracked Kerr: "I hope we will meet in Washington before that." Occasionally, Kerr got as good as he gave. When Gore referred to "the liquidity position of the U.S. corporations," Kerr loftily called...
When a tee shot sank in a sand trap during the final round at Rochester, N.Y., fortnight ago, the bold blonde pulled a real surprise out of her bag. As a stunned gallery watched, and a SPORTS ILLUSTRATED photographer snapped away, JoAnne blasted her way out of the trap with-for heaven's sake-a No. 5 wood, instead of the normal wedge. The ball plunked down just a few feet from the edge of the green, and she made her par 4, went on to win the tournament. "I always go for broke," said JoAnne...
...Antonioni. Which means that Michelangelo Antonioni wrote and directed it. What makes La Notte better than other movies is hard to say.

The decrescendo follows swiftly, and film ending with a walk on the golf course and an embrace in the sand trap, ambiguously suggesting that if things are not all for the best, at least Giovanni will now be able to step outside of his protective shell...
...Cover) On a stony California ridge, a rocket engine wide as a barn door lit the sky like an erupting volcano, while its roar racketed for 45 miles across the Mojave Desert. In a quiet Massachusetts laboratory, scientists carefully tuned a new and incredibly sensitive radio receiver designed to trap signals from far-out space. All over the U.S. last week, the story was the same: thousands of scientists and engineers sweated over strange new jobs−jobs more difficult than any they had ever attempted before. In a frenzy of creativeness they were producing new materials, machines, instruments, methods...
