...path throughout Southeast Asia. Hong Kong at sundown becomes a Japanese city, its harbor dappled with the neon reflections of pink, blue, red and green signs that announce Sony and Daimaru, Minolta and Canon. In Djakarta, the grey-white slabs of Japanese-financed hotels and office buildings thrust with ultramodern exuberance from the scabbed red roofs of Dutch colonial slums. Since the signing of the Korean-Japanese Normalization Treaty in 1965, the Japanese presence in South Korea has redoubled: Japanese tourists swarm through Seoul, businessmen enjoy the gamy delights of the Walker Hill sex complex, and Japanese Corona taxi-cabs...
...cinema has seldom produced a picture as sophisticated in style as Crazy Quilt. Director Korty speaks an ultramodern language of film with a fluency that refuses flamboyance; every part of his art is resolved in the whole of his work. Korty's camera keeps the eye informed and exercised, but never offers it extraneous excitement. Peter Schickele's score flows so congruously out of the images that the spectator sometimes feels he must be seeing with his ears. And the actors-Rosqui is a member of Manhattan's Lincoln Center Repertory Theater, and Mela an off-Broadway...
Enter FB-III. McNamara also announced that he would order 210 FB-111 bombers, a heavier version of the F-lll (the celebrated TFX) tactical attack craft now on order by the Air Force and Navy. The Air Force, arguing that flexibility requires a permanent "mix" of missiles and ultramodern bombers, would prefer a three-or four-man craft equipped with exotic "penetration aids" to get it past enemy radar and missile defenses. Its ideal plane would have a range at least equal to the most advanced B-52s-nearly 10,000 miles fully loaded. What the Air Force...
While New York newspapers struggle with assorted unions for the right to automate in bits and pieces, a new British daily went into operation last week with ultramodern, automatic, labor-and-time-saving techniques in every production area. Started by Lord Thomson of Fleet, 71, who owns 125 newspapers and 105 magazines in Britain, Ireland, Canada, the U.S. and Africa, the Evening Post of Reading makes use of equipment that has been on the market for a few years: computerized type-fitting, phototypesetting and offset printing. But never before has it all been assembled in one newspaper printing plant...
None of the political problems, however, could obscure the very real triumph that the day was meant to observe. The two-lane Mont Blanc tunnel, air-conditioned and equipped with ultramodern radar traffic control, will shorten the road between Paris and Rome by 125 miles-even more when the long winter snows close the Alpine passes. It is expected to be used by at least 1.2 million vehicles a year, each of which will pay tolls ranging from $3.25 (for a small European car) to $20 (for a bus). Just before its Italian entrance, a proud new road sign told...
