...frowzy-and unlocked-communal bathroom where the killer waited for more than an hour before he could fire the fatal shot, investigators found a handprint, a thumbprint and an expended casing from his rifle. On the street outside the rooming house, where he occupied Room 5 with a clear view of King's motel across the way, he dropped his rifle and a blue overnight bag containing some clothes. All of these items and imprints gave the FBI and Memphis police a microscopic field day whose yield should provide invaluable courtroom evidence...
...There is no national problem," says President Arthur Costa e Silva, "that is not linked indissolubly to education." Last week Costa received unwanted backing for that view. In the most violent wave of demonstrations since the army seized power in 1964, Brazil's high school and university students went on an angry rampage throughout most of the country. In Rio de Janeiro, thousands of students boiled through downtown streets, chanting antigovernment slogans and taunting police. By midweek, the demonstrations had spread to nearly all of the country's 22 states. Schools and universities were closed down...
Timid & Prettified. So debatable is Malraux's basic premise, that when "Painting in France, 1900-1967" went on view at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art last week,* the Met's contemporary art curator, Henry Geldzahler, angrily disowned it.

At this point the balance shifts again: Bowman asks HAL to explain his mistake and HAL denies it, attributing it to "human error"; we are reminded of the maxim, "a bad workman blames his tools," and realize HAL is acting from a distinctly human point-of-view in trying to cover up his error...
...only human in the film HAL proves a greater murderer than any of the men. Returning 2001 to the theme of inherent destruction in social and technological progress, Kubrick's chilling last-shot-before-the-intermission (a shot from HAL's point-of-view, lip-reading a conversation of Bowman and Poole deciding to dismantle him if the mistake is confirmed) suggests the potential of machine to control man, the ultimate reversal of roles in a situation where man makes machines in his own image. HAL's success is partial; he murders Poole, then three doctors on the ship...
