...LIQUID hydrogen explosion three alaram fire in the experimental chamber of the Cambridge Electron Accelerator yesterday injured eight Harvard and MIT scientists and research technicians, three of them critically. The multi-million dollar explosion ripped apart the entire roof of the circular experiment section of the CEA complex, severely damaged a $1,000,000 hydrogen bubble chamber, and destroyed an elevator shaft in the adjoining administrative section of the structure...
...Kamchatka has found a new specimen of what the Russians call a vremenshchik (man of the moment). He is Pyotr Zavadovsky, 37, her private secretary, who has moved into the traditional consort's suite just below the Empress's own chambers (and connected to them by a green-carpeted circular stairway). Where does that leave His Serene Highness General Grigori Alexandrovich Potemkin, 36, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, Count of the Russian Empire, recipient of Prussia's Black Eagle decoration, Denmark's White Elephant and Sweden's Holy Seraphim? It apparently leaves him maneuvering to retain his power...
...kept his directorial operations almost intact. His concept, John Conklin's effective scenery, Jane Greenwood's stunning costumes, and John McLain's lighting convey with clarity the play's shape. Shakespeare's emphasis on the cyclicism of the seasons and of human life is reflected in the unchanging raised circular platform and in the large round clockface that is lowered periodically (on the drive home I was reminded of this when the car radio suddenly came forth with Harry Chapin leading the audience in his song "All My Life's a Circle...
Kerr has a wonderfully trained voice, alway intelligible whether piano, mezzoforte, or fortissimo. And he does not succumb to the temptation to keep yelling constantly. He knows how to move, too, as when in the grips of neurosis he prowls around the circular platform like a caged animal. And he dares elicit a smile when he sputters at Paulina's husband, "I charged thee that she should not come about me," and then adds, sotto voce, "I knew she would." He also managers to ring true when he strips to the waist, takes off his crown and grovels...
...nose of a Delta rocket, one of the simplest satellites ever built by the U.S. roared off the launch pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base last week to begin an 8 million-year journey in space. The 2-ft. sphere, placed into a 3,600-mile-high circular orbit, contains no moving parts or electronic equipment and resembles an oversized golf ball. Yet it should provide earthbound geophysicists with a benchmark in the sky that will enable them to measure precisely the rotation rate of the earth and the wobble of its axis, continental drift, and the movement along geologic...
