...have mine!" he shouted. "I'm going to kill every son of a bitch in this courtroom." Hauling out a .38-cal. revolver, he shot his wife's attorney dead.

Judge Parker heaved his swivel chair at Bivins, who was pumping a slug at his own lawyer, showering the deputy court clerk with plaster when the bullet pinged into the wall near her head.

Obviously, Jan Stüssy, 46, is a man in a box. But happily for him, he is also a painter who has found in art "the only compass I can use to find my way." Along the route, he has managed to have 27 one-man shows, with paintings in dozens of U.S. and European galleries. He is professor of art at U.C.L.A., where 31 of his latest works are on display before going on a tour of South America later this year...

"Art seems to be a matter of searching," he says. "Very slowly I am trying to untie the puzzle...
...most plentiful substance identified by Surveyor's alpha particle "jewel box" (TIME, Sept. 22) is virtually the same as the basaltic rock that forms the ocean floors and is found in such widely scattered locations as the Hudson River Palisades, the Brazilian Plateau, the Hawaiian Islands and India. Like its counterpart on earth, the lunar material consists largely of oxygen (58%) and silicon (18.5%). It also contains aluminum (6.5%), iron-nickel (5.5%), magnesium (3%), and smatterings of carbon...
