...perfect!" marvelled Erica Van Wagener, a New York import with a bit part. "They want corn-fed sweetness, and she fits in the hole. She can play all the teen-age girl roles until she's 25." Van Wagener complained that her own career was impeded because she could not be stereotyped so easily. It is those stereotypes that TV uses to build its picture of life...
...nuclear-powered spacecraft continues its probings of deep space, its findings will be awaited "with intense excitement," says the University of Iowa's James Van Allen, who utilized Explorer I a generation ago to discover the earth's radiation belts. Says Van Allen: "No one dreamed we would still be hearing from Pioneer today." The scientists, however, will have to be patient.

Lynne Taylor-Corbett, whose Great Galloping Gottschalk was a hit last year, has a moody new piece, Estuary; once again the performances, by Van Hamel and Patrick Bissell, burnish a dull concept. Van Hamel, a dancer of wit and grace, has an even murkier assignment in Jiri Kylian's Torso, a grim, roughhouse pas de deux with Clark Tippet...
