On obit for the exploitation king Joseph Sarno: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/03/arts/03sarno.html?ref=obituaries
And for those who are still interested in the 2001 release dates saga, I happened to come across an article in one of the New York Time's film reference books over the weekend. It may or may not be available online, but it does touch on the history of the film up to that point (the article, by Vincent Canby, is dated May 3 1970): "..these thoughts are prompted by a return visit, 10 days ago, to see "2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY"... the movie, which was playing a return engagement at the Ziegfeld Theater when I saw it, can be seen in 70mm, with stereo sound, at the Paramus 4 (and other theaters)... (the book) 'The Making of Kubrick's 2001' follows the curious commercial course of the film that opened in New York on April 3rd 1968 to almost unanimous pans from the daily press and then went on to become a cult film, a head film, a film to recant by, and a smashing commercial success (earnings to date in the United States: $15,985.000)."
