...time the tearful clerk admitted her mistake and the stony looks turned to embarrassed smiles, John decided to call it a day. Exhausted, nerves frazzled, he walked home-carefully skirting shadows. He took a trifle longer than usual to open his triple-locked door. The delay proved unfortunate. Before John could slither inside his urban fortress, three thugs lurking in the vestibule relieved him of his wallet, his watch and his girl friend's Protectalarm. Then, for good measure, they gave him a whiff of his own Mace...
...threats of an all-out strike, the long-winded dispute between the major-league team owners and the Players Association was getting to be a bore. No one was more annoyed than Bowie Kuhn, the newly appointed commissioner of baseball. Last week, as the negotiators were about to call for yet another vote from the 700 members of the association-a process that would have taken at least two more weeks-Kuhn cut short a Florida vacation and flew back to Manhattan to offer a suggestion. Lock the door, he said succinctly, sit down and settle the damn thing. Both...
Where can hippies turn for medical help? Increasingly, many of them look to the column of Doctor HIPpocrates, the surgeon-general of the sandal-and-speed set. They call him "Dr. HIP," but his real name is Eugene Schoenfeld.

Besides serving as an "orchestra" for works by avant-garde composers, the Moog (rhymes with vogue) produced the bing-bong theme that for years preceded all CBS-TV color shows and the clarion call that heralds Westinghouse television commercials. The most spectacular application of the Moog to date is Composer Walter Carlos' electronic "orchestration" of ten Bach compositions for a Columbia LP called Switched-On Bach. The album has sold nearly 150,000 copies in four months, which makes it the hottest classical...
...theory, this should not seriously bother the Pentagon. "Rotsee," as collegians call it, remains highly popular. It supplies 50% of the Army's officers, 20% of the Navy's and 35% of the Air Force's. Army ROTC alone now enrolls 151,000 students on 268 campuses (v. 54 for the Navy and 208 for the Air Force). Many students are so eager for ROTC that next year the Army will add 16 more campuses. A student who signs up is committed to two years' active service as a second lieutenant. One attraction: he can boost...
