...obscuring atmosphere and equipped with 11 telescopes, it has given astronomers a view of the skies unattainable on earth. In addition to its ultraviolet readings-which will almost surely contribute to knowledge about galactic structure-OAO II has discovered that young, "hot" stars are losing far more of their matter in the process of maturation than had hitherto been thought: as much as the mass of the earth in a single year. Data from the orbiting astronomical satellite has also confirmed the presence of graphite crystals in the intergalactic dust beyond the Milky Way. Both phenomena should help scientists understand...
...Sibaja has sculpted two prizefighters out of red ice who bleed slowly into buckets under their boxing ring while a tape recorder plays crowd screams. They take a week to die. Minimal sculpture everywhere, reaching even into the Portuguese delegation. Pushbutton and wind-up sculptures break down in a matter of hours.

No matter whether the Resurrection is verifiable as a historical event; that "something" happened to give early Christians their immense hope is evidence enough.

Curtain. In between their coy runaround, tiny complications arise. None of them matter, but several are the premises for blithe and sumptuous dance numbers. The most kinetic, Dancing, is happily reminiscent of the old MGM musical It's Always Fair Weather, starring a couple of guys named Gene Kelly and Michael Kidd...
