...headquarters, the commander of a two-destroyer U.S. naval patrol that was supposedly attacked at night by North Vietnamese torpedo boats replied hesitantly: "Review of action makes many reported contacts and torpedoes fired appear doubtful. Freak weather effects and overeager sonarman may have accounted for many reports. No actual visual sightings." Washington insisted that it had independent confirmation of the attack, but it was a skinny reed on which Lyndon Johnson based the first U.S. air strikes against North Viet Nam and his successful request to Congress for carte blanche to send U.S. combat troops into South Viet...
...physical and visual aspects. such as costumes and sets, have been evolving since the Serpent. In the Serpent we considered images very much. We've expanded somewhat to consider what the visual thing is in an image. In Terminal it is not claborate by anyone else's standards but for us it is extremely claborate on the technical end. And Endgame makes use of what someone would call a very sparse set, and we make use of lighting in both of these pieces in way we haven't in the past. And these things seem to be important...
...workbooks in progress. "What we are trying to do is develop a program that gets students to recognize that the man-made environment is more than just dirty air and water pollution," explains Architect Richard Wurman.

For his part, the 42-year-old Israeli artist pays tribute to the city's daring in accepting his first experiment with a "total environment," and he is proud that traditional ethnic bitterness was overcome. "The Germans were willing to meet my every technical exigency...
Cabalistic Wisdom. Agam was born Yaacov Gipstein in Rishon le Zion, when Israel was still Palestine. The son of a cabalistic rabbi, he never entered a school until the age of 13 and even now credits much of his thinking and visual vocabulary to cabalistic wisdom. Since Judaism forbids the creation of graven images, he searched for ways and means of producing a "living" art, one that while not depicting reality would yet approximate its changing character. After moving to Paris in 1951, he developed an interest in science and technology, which in turn led to his experiments with optical...
