...fact is, there often is no message. Havens, 27, a Brooklyn-born Negro who performs with compelling fervor, exemplifies the tendency of today's singers to avoid urging anything on the listener, but to try to embody an emotional state that makes its point indirectly. California's Tim Buckley, 21, says that he prefers to sing for audiences who "just want to feel someone's pain and happiness." And like most of his colleagues, he is confident that, as he intones in the Larry Beckett lyric for The Magician...
...Brooklyn-born David Weinrib, 43, is another artist who feels that technology is, at best, only the handmaiden to inspiration. "The ideas you have," he explains, "force you to try new materials, not the other way around." His Manhattan studio has been redone five times in ten years as he shifted from bronze to steel and plastic constructions and finally to polyester resin. One of his recent plastic pieces is Five Inverted Pyramids, a work that gleams with static tension; it confines the eye with its precise geometry, while at the same time allowing it to penetrate luxuriously into...
...years ago, Brooklyn-born Dancer Barbara Weisberger started a small ballet school in an old studio in Philadelphia. Funds at first were scarce; she and her two teaching colleagues paid themselves $20 a month, and at least once the landlord locked them out for nonpayment of rent.

Named with the baby doctor for "conspiring to counsel, aid and abet" young men to evade service in the armed forces were four other antiwarriors: Yale University Chaplain William Sloane Coffin Jr., 43, long an activist in civil rights and antiwar causes; Brooklyn-born Novelist-Polemicist Mitchell Goodman, 44, who broke up last year's National Book Awards ceremony by shouting "We are burning children in Viet Nam"; former White House Disarmament Aide Marcus Raskin, 33, who now serves as co-director of a Washington research organization; and Michael Ferber, 23, a Harvard graduate student and peace preacher...
...cover drawing, Brooklyn-born Levine, 41, worked from photographs and imagination, as he usually does for his caricatures. He looks upon himself as "a painter supported by a hobby-satirical drawings." The first of several New York showings of his paintings was held in 1954; Dwight Eisenhower and the John F. Kennedys were among the purchasers of his works. He turned to caricature in 1960, and in 1966 published a book of cartoons called The Man from M.A.L.I.C.E. His one previous cover for TIME was the Nov. 3 issue's William F. Buckley...
