...third floor of Paine Hall are more varied than that. Clements says she enrolled in the class to find an alternative to the commercial fare. "I got disgusted with the pounding regularity of popular music," she says, adding that her interest was also sparked by her experience in Visual and Environmental Studies 158r, "Sound and Image." Co--taught in alternate years by Tcherepnin and VES Professor Alfred F. Guzzetti, the VES course combines electronic music with visual imagery. The result is in many ways similar to the multimedia, performance-art concept pioneered by artists like Laurie Anderson...
...white-haired man with owlish glasses opened the door, took one look at the two Americans with over-stuffed knapsacks, and said softly, "Welcome." Yureii Medvedkov took their coats, and offered them tea. A glance around the living-room, accompanied by Yureii's explanations in English, gave visual evidence of the Medvedkov's many friends in the West.

His semibiographical novel Hammett became a film produced by Francis Coppola and helped shift his career toward scriptwriting, notably for such TV series as Kojak and Magnum, P.I. Gores' novel Come Morning, his first in eight years, displays a heightened visual awareness: it blends precise research into prison life, the gem market and rock climbing with outlandishly risky escapades, including a scene in which the hero circumvents a security system by mounting an elevator cable and skittering along a momentarily inactive high-tension wire.

...piece knits 10 different numbers together--alternately using the whole company, a couple, and an ensemble of male dancers. Although the sharp turns, leaps and skillful hip and rib isolations of the dancers made a powerful visual impression, in particular the vignettes in which male members of the company moved in unison were most successful. Here Ailey created an atmosphere ringed with the electricity and power of their movements. The effect was a mesmerizing tour de force of the men's energy, strength and technical precision...
