...Superman comics: the same color seeming lighter or darker according to its background, a green, black and orange flag that makes you see red, white and blue when you look away. A prism breaks white light into the color spectrum, and a sodium vapor lamp turns everyone's skin yellow. There are lots of fun knobs to turn and fun buttons to push, and color TV excerpts from ZOOM. But in failing to approach the really challenging question of why color works the way it does, the Museum frustrates the viewer's curiosity. We are just left with an arcade...
...House Judiciary Committee's subpoena of 42 tapes relating to his role in Watergate, a deadline oft-deferred but now inescapable. In preparation, as he had done in past crises, he retreated to the quiet of Camp David to work out his response on his long yellow legal pads. The best indications were that it would be an attempt, aimed at the American people, to justify a less than full reply to the committee. In a White Paper and likely an evening television address to the nation, he was expected to explain that although he was not turning over...
Making their final summations earlier last week, the lawyers for the defense and prosecution tried to shape the great mass of evidence to their own ends.

...showgirl-songstress wife Dotty; and her psychiatrist lover, Sir Archibald Jumper, who is the vice chancellor and pragmatic villain of the college where George teaches. More bizarre companions include George's secretary, who likes to striptease while swinging by her teeth from a chandelier; a troupe of yellow-clad acrobats ("a mixture of the more philosophical members of the university gymnastics team and the more gymnastic members of the philosophy school"); and a corpse in a plastic bag named McFee...
...Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. It proposes to slap a $1 export tax on every 40-lb. box of bananas leaving Latin America, 50 times the present 20 tax paid by major exporters. In the U.S., which is the world's top banana in imports of the yellow fruit, the tax boost could raise retail prices from the present 16%0 per Ib. to as much as 190. The International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union has threatened to boycott such Latin American imports as bananas, sugar and coffee if the tax is imposed...
