Says Sociologist Wolfgang: "The gun and fist have been substantially replaced by financial ability, by the capacity to manipulate others in complex organizations, and by intellectual talent.

The money was used to purchase 28 paintings, sculptures, collages and tapestries by Picasso, Braque, Moore...

Speckter's device, which he prefers to call the interrobang ("bang" is printer's slang for an exclamation point), remained just an idea until Detroit Graphic Artist Richard Isbell casually included it in the Americana face he was designing. Delighted by its possibilities, the A.T.F. plans to include it in all new types that it cuts...
