Toward the end of the 47th revolution, he scored a space first-the visual sighting of a missile launching. "I see it, I see it," cried Conrad, as the 60-ft. Minuteman burst through the clouds over Vandenberg A.F.B. The Air Force had timed the lift-off to test whether Gemini 5 could locate and photograph such an operation. Several revolutions later, the astronauts spotted a second Minuteman launch from Vandenberg...
...Godard, who shook up the movie world five years ago with Breathless, and has made eight far-out features since−notably My Life to Live and A Woman Is a Woman. In this, as in most of his other films, he exhibits an irresistible weakness for obtrusion, visual puns, inside jokes and all sorts of self-indulgent photographic whimsies, such as irrelevantly shooting a sequence at a 90° tilt...
...other areas. An education bill to be signed soon will extend federal school-construction aid to secondary and elementary levels, opening the way for up to $1 billion more in new construction. It will also raise teacher salaries-and spending power -and provide more funds for the textbooks, audio-visual aids and laboratory equipment that already constitute a major part of the $1.7 billion a year school-equipment-and-supply business.

Where Bombay is sparked by its Parsi businessmen (descended from 8th century Persian fire worshipers), Madras...
Spring, 1917. World War I ground grimly on. All the same, the famed impresario of the Ballet Russe, Sergei Diaghilev, commissioned a young poet, Jean Cocteau, to conceive a new ballet. At the time Cocteau was obsessed by visual images, especially the Harlequins, Pierrots and musical instruments in Picasso's paintings. As Cocteau recalled later, "My dream was to hear the music of Picasso's guitars," and he set about building his ballet around them, hoping to cajole the Spanish painter into designing sets and costumes. Picasso, a friend of Cocteau's, was cajoled...
