CRISIS rearranges a lot of lives, our own included. Naturally, TIME'S Washington bureau went on its own full alert: correspondents at the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department and on Capitol Hill found themselves living in the same kind of round-the-clock atmosphere as their sources, and sharing the sleeplessness, anxiety and stimulus of an emergency. All this is part of their job, and ours. But the events, and their unfolding and interpretation, quickly involved us in a situation in which the journalistic ground rules are not always clear. Last week the White House laid down...
Harvard tried a series of orthodox slashes and belly handoffs in an effort to get back in the game, but Dartmouth's Apache defensive units held fast. Trying to utilize the 20 m.p.h. winds. King took to the air, but alert defensive play by Hobie Armstrong prevented any disastrous aerial gain. As time ran out in the half, Terry Bartolet tried frantically to pass Harvard to a touchdown, but his throws, all against the wind, were far from their targets. Indian Coach Bob Blackman kept fresh units coming into the game, but Harvard's two platoons refused to be worn...
What makes a sleazy novel sell a million copies? "Sex," the alert student replies instantly. But the answer, while largely true, does not entitle him to go to the head of the class. If a bestseller listing could be assured merely by the presence in a novel of enough undressed puppets, publishers would drink less black coffee and more champagne. Actually pop-novel sex has become fairly standard, as has pop-novel prose. Competitors watch each other carefully; if Grace Metalious builds her fall line around flagellation, Rona Jaffe counters with fetishism. Already the point has passed where even abnormal...
Sunday, Leary told something of the origin of the Cambridge research group. The parts of the brain which direct awareness, he said, "usually alert us to game committments, and not much else. Everything outside and inside gets strained through the fifteen or so game patterns--computer programs--and literature, more recently Bergson and Aldous Huxley, has been telling us for centuries that this is slavery." The Cambridge group started with the close co-operation of Aldous Huxley, in whose novel Brave New World the psycho-activating drug "soma" is widely used...
...pessimistic: he travels sixteen hours a day to close the Kennedy lead. The Lodge-Hughes debates are part of Lodge's simple strategy of achieving maximum exposure. Anyone in Harvard Square can tell you that Lodge can only lose (and has) in open debate with the devastatingly alert Independent. But Lodge is convinced that Hughes will pull votes from Kennedy on domestic issues. Lodge is fighting for the independent and marginal Democratic vote, including unreconciled McCormack supporters. Since Curtis supporters have nowhere else to go, the word Republican has been deleted from the Lodge campaign. Lodge prefers the term 'independent...
