...State Polytechnic University, is touring scenic backwaters of the Far West with his boyhood friend Kevin Kennedy in a 27-ft. motor home, undismayed by the fact that the bears may outnumber the voters in some of these districts. Last week Steve pulled up in front of the Home Cafe in Dupuyer, Mont. (pop. less than 100), and before his order of pancakes had arrived found himself surrounded by ranchers, the local G.O.P. committeeman and the sheriff, who was wearing camouflage coveralls and carrying six arrows in his hip pocket-he was going deer hunting. Steve talked cattle and politics...
...usually plays harried Detective Sergeant Stavros on the Kojak series, has been playing to New York nightclub audiences lately -all thanks to an album of Greek folk tunes that he recorded last April. Judging from Savalas' enthusiasm after one performance, he may have brighter prospects as a cafe crooner than a TV cop. Says he: "I was walking four feet off the ground and singing like a cannon."

They ignored the technology, whose scale, speed, ingenuity and arrogant newness so captivated poets like Guillaume Apollinaire, Filippo Marinetti and Blaise Cendrars, or painters like Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia -and Delaunay...
...torture themselves with a mix of deep metaphysics and petty jealousies. They look balding and brooding, like cafe intellectuals. (They even wear leather jackets over their space suits.) Sartorius wants to cut up Hari in the interest of science. "Immortality," he cries. "Faust's dream!" Snauf copes by letting himself slip into sarcastic lunacy; when Hari jerks back to life in Kelvin's arms, he mutters "I can't stand all these resurrections." And the once zero-degree Kelvin gives himself over to his soulful-eyed dream woman like the agnostic who embraces religion, because only thus can he bear...
