...basic research. But many scientists doubt that this new generosity will be enough. Chemist Philip Abelson, editor of Science, notes that Nobel prizes are usually awarded long after the work they honor has been performed. "Don't misunderstand," he says. "The U.S. has hardly fallen out of the tree. But stick around ten years to see the results of our current domestic attitudes." Thus the 1979 Nobels are really the harvest of seeds planted many years earlier. The question is whether the U.S. can repeat those triumphs in the future, when the benefits of science and technology will...
...documentary, The War at Home, produced and directed by Glenn Silber and Barry A. Brown, brilliantly reveals just what happened on Madison's tree-lined avenues and gracious hill-top campus. The film traces the development of the anti-war movement at the University of Wisconsin from the earliest demonstrations in 1963 to the fall of Saigon in 1975. Using rare, archival film obtained from the State Historical Society and authentic US Army combat footage, Silber and Brown carefully parallel the growth of the anti-war movement with the escalation of American involvement in Viet Nam, from the sparsely attended...
Until now, Not only is Ermanno Omni's The Tree of Wooden Clogs at the Orson Welles, it has also been proclaimed as both beautiful and sensitive by reviewer after reviewer.

...result is that you feel the lives of the people, instead of just seeing them. What at first were lumpy bodies with non-descript faces become as real to you as your roomate through Omni's brilliant creation. The work is all Omni who, besides directing, wrote and filmed Tree. The cast, non-professional, which may account for the subtlety and dignity with which the characters were portrayed. Not once was piety overdrawn or intelligence underdrawn. The dialogue and (blessedly) the sub-titles were kept at a minimum. Omni instead relied on inspired camera work to tell his story...
...person. This overflowing warmth has been cruelly diverted away from his own children because their Ron Ziegler look-alike stepfather will not allow them to see "the lousy fag." The poignance of his longing is captured in a shot of Fernand furtively watching his children from behind a park tree. As his face softens with love, the scene loses all of its initial humor and we see the tragedy of a sexual code which forbids a father from ever knowing his children. Sami Frey's performance catches every nuance of Fernand's complicated nature--from his inability to grasp abstract...
