...punk rock. More and more, the punkers find themselves being referred to as members of yet another New Wave. Sex Pistols Manager Malcolm McLaren regards that as highfalutin, calling the phrase "Establishment language, more descriptive of a new hairstyle than anything else." In truth, New Wave does seem an apt catch-all label for the energetic and varied kind of music that has emerged in recent months from some of the young American bands. The Ramones stick close to basic rock 'n' roll, but they get better all the time. Last week their latest single Sheena...
...life was to be, I needed to participate more wholeheartedly in the lives of others...--I tell myself that a healthy imagination is like a healthy appetite and must be fed. If you do not feed it the lives of your friends, I maintain, then you are apt to feed it your own life, to live in your imagination rather than upon...

Much of our reporting came from Washington Correspondent Jerry Hannifin, who has long covered developments in aviation and space for TIME. To this assignment Hannifin brought some particularly apt qualifications; he is not only an associate member of the Society of Air Safety Investigators, which promotes improved crash-probe techniques, but also a pilot of what he describes as the "Lindbergh baby" generation, with nearly 2,500 hours of flying time which he has accumulated over the past 27 years in craft ranging from modern jet interceptors to his own classic Ercoupe and a Cessna 182 that he shares with...
