...Looking Westward. The sets swing too-literally. They reflect the trend of multimedia dance, which means that moving scenery, lights, props, sound effects and film clips have all become an integral part of the choreography, as in Jeffrey's Astarte (see cover picture). Accompaniment ranges from full symphony orchestras and electronic yawping to jazz and, as in the case of Jerome Robbins' Moves, dead silence. Costuming can consist of tossing on anything that suits the moment or, as in Parades and Changes, performed by Ann Halprin's Dancers' Workshop of San Francisco, taking...
...104G Starfighters criss-crossed the azure Cyprus sky, and ships of the Turkish navy sailed offshore, their guns questing the coast for targets. While mobs in Istanbul and Ankara called for war with Greece and an invasion of Cyprus, Turkish troops streamed toward embarkation ports near Cyprus or ferried westward across the Bosporus to take up positions along the Greek border.

Taming Mato Grosso. Equally important, Urubupungá, like Brasília before it, will be a force in shifting the center of gravity westward into the nation's vast undeveloped sectors. Beyond the flatlands surrounding the Paraná River is the wild frontier of Mato Grosso, where cattlemen, rubber gatherers, construction men and Indians fight the jungle and sometimes each other. While the initial lure was gold, the area has been found rich in iron, manganese and limestone, not to mention fertile grazing pastures. The trouble is transportation, which is nearly nonexistent...
...were happy to see them go, even provided free buses to the Jordan River. About 100,000 crossed on rickety bridges or swam over to King Hussein's side. The King urged these new refugees to return, and by week's end some began the reverse trickle westward...
