Whether success will spoil off-Broadway or not, the downtown stage has seemingly relinquished its role of presenting experimental and original theater, and seems to be settling for a rehash of old material, plus a scattering of pseudo avant-garde plays. While this pattern has proven disappointing to those who still seek new blood and fresh ideas off-Broadway, it provides a comfortable combination of tried theatrical works (Strindberg, Ibsen, and Shaw most conspicuously), with thin, spicy plays designed to quench a respectable suburban thirst for Evil...
Bell has really a five-man line when the first-stringers are on the ice; defensemen Tom Casey and Dean Webb skate like towards in a weave pattern that has baffled opponents. When the second team takes over, big Phil Johnston and John Palmer play the conventional defensive game in the rear guard...
...given with the person, Locke regarded society merely as something for the convenience of the autonomous individual and not inherent in the nature of man. Murray condemns Locke as too much of an individualist to have "any recognizable moral sense" of the rights of man: "There is simply a pattern of power relationships."

Among the satellites so far shot into orbit, perhaps the most useful to man was Tiros I, the "weather eye," whose pictures of the earth's cloud pattern gave a valuable overall view of global weather. Last week the U.S. launched Tiros II, to improve on the work of its predecessor. The 280-lb., drum-shaped satellite, spangled with 9,260 solar cells, went into a nearly circular orbit about 400 miles above the earth. All except one of its instruments worked fine; only the wide-angle TV camera for photographing large-scale cloud cover was out of kilter...
...they connect one telephone with another in a few millionths of a second. Electronic "eyes and ears," called scanners, spring into action the instant a phone is taken off the hook, activating a photographic memory brain that contains more than 2,000,000 bits of information in a coded pattern of black and white dots. The computer is so intelligent that it constantly checks its own circuits, makes some repairs itself. When it can't make the correction, the brain wisely teletypes for help from human custodians, reporting the location of the trouble spot, the month, day, hour...
