...there were differences in results. Although the Russians did not detect a Venusian magnetic field, Mariner discovered slight magnetic activity that could have come either from a field less than 1/300th the strength of earth's or simply from the interaction between the solar wind and the Venusian ionosphere. The Russians at first reported that carbon dioxide comprised 98% of the Venusian atmosphere, but later revised the figure down to between 90% and 95%, closer to Mariner's reported 72% to 87%. And while Mariner could find no evidence of oxygen in the atmosphere, the Venus 4 capsule...
Despite its success, Expo may still wind up with a $250 million deficit. But as far as Montreal and Canada are concerned, it was worth it. For the fair leaves behind a splendid legacy of international good will and national pride-not to mention an embarrassment of riches. Thirty-six nations have already agreed to hand over their pavilions to Montreal, and Mayor Jean Drapeau, the originator of Expo, is casting about for ways to make the island sites into a permanent summertime exhibit and tourist attraction. Among his envisioned lures: Buckminster Fuller's U.S. geodesic dome, converted into...
Just where the Supreme Court is going to wind up on obscenity is a matter of no little interest to state courts.

...generation sophisticated by Godard, Fellini and Bergman, Gone With the Wind may at times seem unbearably square. The lack of cinematic verite palls during the film's long, unfocused second half. By the end of G.W.T.W., Melanie's eternal benevolence, as faithfully enacted by Olivia de Havilland (the last surviving star of the film), is almost insufferably cloying. Still, the sweep and power of the story are there, the burning of Atlanta remains one of the finest battle scenes ever filmed. Gable never played Gable better, and never was the glowing ideal, or illusion, of fiery Southern girlhood...
...attendant demiurges. These take their supernatural business for granted, while, in contrast, many plain Soviet citizens are deprived of their Marxist grasp of material reality by the apparition of the Devil, and behave like lunatics. First the poet, then assorted officials, unhinged by their attempts to explain the inexplicable, wind up in the psychiatric center...
