...protests have not deterred the French government. The series is expected to run through August and include five or six tests. The tests have evoked surprisingly little controversy in France itself. When the Bishop of Orleans publicly castigated the government's nuclear armament policy last week, Admiral Marc de Joybert, naval chief of staff, haughtily told the bishop in an open letter to Le Figaro: "Take care of your own onions. Your job, Monsignor, is to teach the faith and spread charity. Our role is to defend France." For the time being at least, the French public seemed more...
...always, hemline lengths "don't really matter" any more to the likes of Yves St. Laurent; as always, buyers and fashion writers looked first to the calf. The results were generally high-level (just below the knee), though midi-scarred U.S. buyers noted nervously that St. Laurent, Marc Bohan and others insisted on prolonging the scene in some of their models all the way down to mid-calf level. Ungaro even dipped to just-above-ankle, granny-style length for streetwear, to be worn over high-heeled boots. Still, there was much to applaud (if not to afford): daytime...
Such a shift would end a pattern of vertical integration that has prevailed in petroleum since the heyday of John D. Rockefeller. Harvard Economist Marc J.

Instead of carving the empire into its functional parts-production, refining and marketing-Roberts says, "the Government split it along geographical lines, thus making every successor company vertically integrated." In fact, five of the charged firms -Exxon, Standard of Indiana, Mobil, Atlantic Richfield and Standard...
...settings, fashioned by Douglas Schmidt, and skilfully lit by Marc Weiss, are decidedly modern or futuristic. And electronic incidental music and odd sound effects have been devised by Pril Smiley. One might surmise that the result would be a mishmash. But the idea of putting 11th-century people dressed in 17th-century garb in 20th-century environments is perfectly viable. One of the play's major themes is the wrenching of things out of their accustomed habitats, the appearance of people in "borrowed robes," the distortion of time. And the text is full of references to strange sounds ("every noise...
With the help of Marc B. Weiss's lighting, our attention can be shifted from place to place quickly, and the play's momentum can go forward unimpeded. Aside from the solo verse Prologue and Epilogue, here omitted, the five acts of the text seem intact, and the show has a running-time of two hours and three-quarters...
