...visual qualities of the games will improve quickly. Bambino has a two-color display system in the works that would allow one football team to wear blue uniforms and one to wear red, for instance. TV games, overshadowed this year, should attract more interest when Mattel Electronics introduces Intellivision, a game system with realistic, multicolored graphic displays. Learning capability can be built into small computers. The costs will be higher, but if customers will pay $40 this year, they may pay $75 next year...

...less to complain about than their print colleagues. Khomeini is still fuming about his unflattering portrayal in an interview with Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci published two months ago, and since then he has routinely refused to see representatives of Western journals. Moreover, the embassy takeover has been largely a visual story, dominated by chanting marchers, flag burnings and the like, and opportunities to dig and analyze have been limited. The print journalists have spent much of their time sifting the pronouncements of competing spokesmen. Said one reporter...

...sound system. None of the singers does very much of the ornamentation most music scholars today believe was a critical part of performances in the composer's time. Most of all, there's a surprisingly lackadaisical air about Mozart's music as Losey presents it--as though the added visual verisimilitude could take some of the burden off the music and let the singers take it easy for a change...

...more declarative kind of structure: opaque, ragged planes of color rearing up the surface, emphatic in their brush-work-none of the characteristic cubist tonal flicker-and engulfing in their sheer size. If cubism was the art of hypothesis, Still would contradict it with an art of crushing visual fact. In doing so he hoped to make a clean leap out of modernist history into images "not proven by a continuum," as he wrote to a friend in 1950: "I am myself-not just the sum of my ancestors, and I know myself best by my gestures, meanings...not through...
