There is practically no oil in Italy, yet the state-run E.N.I, monopoly became a world petroleum power under the late Enrico Mattei and his successor, Eugenio Cefis. Mattei bought crude from the Soviets, developed natural-gas resources in the Po Valley, and proudly declared that in building E.N.I., "I broke 8,000 laws." To sidestep Cyclopean bureaucrats-with their time-consuming rules about building permits and their endless paper work-he laid the pipelines at night, while the officials slept...
...Enrico Clementi, a theoretical chemist at IBM's San Jose research laboratory, was familiar with the mathematical descriptions of the actions of the electrons, nuclei, atoms and molecules that participate in a chemical reaction. He was certain that a solution of all the equations involved would give a mathematically precise picture of any chemical reaction. But how could he possibly manage the hundreds of billions of forbidding mathematical steps required for the solution? To an IBM man, the answer was obvious...
Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (unpublicized in the Brattle brochure) is a masterpiece, occasionally faulted by tedium. Directed by Robert Enrico, the film was first prize winner at Cannes in '62. It is a half-hour tour de force, wordless but never silent...

Director Robert Enrico tries to lend his slender scenario some contemporary relevance by forcibly inserting a variety of fashionable camera techniques and casting a Negro Maoist. Though his color photography begins effectively-notably in Zita's terror-glazed recollections of the Spanish Civil War-it ends by stifling the film...
...wrong place, at the wrong time. In 1938, outside Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry, Nazis paraded in the streets. Inside, German Chemist Otto Hahn patiently probed the secrets of the atom. He repeated an experiment that had been tried by half a dozen researchers, including Enrico Fermi in Rome and Irene Joliot-Curie in Paris...
