Whiskers hanging down to his waist, clutching a stick for support, a bent figure hobbled onto the starting grid at Holland's Zandvoort race track last week, made his way slowly to a sleek green-and-gold car sitting in the front row. Then, with a smirk at the astonished crowd, Jack Brabham dropped the cane, pulled off the whiskers, revved up the engine of his Brabham-Repco racer, and roared off to win the Dutch Grand Prix...
Unlike records, the cartridges are simple enough to be played by children without suffering scratches, dirt or bent needles. While an LP is designed to last for 75 playings, a tape will last five times that long. The new eight-track cartridge (price: from $4.95 to $10.95) is about the size and weight of a paperback book, requires no threading or rewinding.

Brown's cultists usually interpret his mystical ruminations as an attack on the accepted Christian concepts of history and behavior, but Brown really seems to advocate the complete abolition of 20th century civilization. If all trappings of civilization were put aside, he believes, all repressions would...
