...cogs and cam wheels rather than their master. As the enfant terrible of kinetics, he exhibited his Homage to New York (once) in the sculpture garden of the Museum of Modern Art in 1960. Despite the efforts of the fire department, his machine destroyed itself. Since then, his bolt-and-nutty contraptions have been more durable. His Dissecting Machine (opposite page) is a gleeful guillotine a gogo, a Grand Guignol comment on man as the victim of his own existence. Says Tinguely: "Life is play, movement, perpetual change.

An other time-sharing firm, Keydata, will soon take up the problems of Boston distributors of liquor, books, automo- bile parts and building materials. Con trol Data, which introduced two time-shared computers last week, will open the U.S.'s biggest sharing center in Los Angeles next year. General Electric...

The man who is directly in charge of administering the Federal Government's education programs is Gardner's Commissioner of Education, Francis Keppel, 49, a dark, slight (5 ft. 10 in., 152 lbs.) intense bolt of activity. In three short years in Washington, Keppel has changed the Office of Education from custodian of highly forgettable statistics to the nation's most energetic nerve center of academic ferment...
