This fascinating historical tidbit came to light when the Russians removed Czar Ivan IV (1530-84) from his Kremlin tomb last year and turned the bones over to Anthropologist-Sculptor Mikhail Gerasimov, a specialist in reconstructing physical appearance from bone structure. Gerasimov got the backache idea from studying the skeleton, has now finished two busts of the 16th century ruler-one showing the muscles of Ivan's left side, and the other showing what he looked like.

Anthropologist Robert Redfield changed "Civilization" to "Social Thought," explaining: "I haven't the slightest idea what it means, but I think I can get it set up under that title...
...Problems. Despite his estimated 73 years (he claims not to be sure of his birth date), and frequent signs of fatigue, Kenyatta is still tall and broad-shouldered, his eyes huge and piercing. In his time he has been a farm boy, student, laborer, meter-reader, respected anthropologist, headmaster, convicted terrorist and, for decades, the unparalleled idol of millions of Africans. The country he now rules carries most of its old ills into independence...
