...everybody bothers to examine the watermark on letters they receive. But Chelsea House's Dr. Fred Israel is the curious type, and this was a special letter-from U.S. Ambassador to South Viet Nam Ellsworth Bunker, who was writing on embassy stationery to order a copy of the 1897 Sears, Roebuck Catalogue. Israel held the paper up to the light and was startled to see a turreted fortress emblazoned with the word Conqueror. In a letter acknowledging the order, Dr. Israel added this P.S.: "I noticed the watermark on your stationery, and I am wondering...
...relaxation. For the first time since Amos 'n' Andy went off in 1953, black comedy (al beit in a somewhat more sensitive and sophisticated form) fills the air.

With offices in the Palace of St. James's, the Lord Chamberlain is the senior officer of the royal household. Yet he and his four readers have also played the role of arbiters of public taste, passing judgment on some 800 new scripts each year. Their esthetic qualifications have been uncertain...
Indeed, so widely has the computer's brain been applied to esthetic pursuits that London's Institute of Contemporary Art has mounted an entire exhibit devoted to "Cybernetic Serendipity." In seven weeks, it has packed in 40,000 London art lovers, schoolboys, mathematicians and Chelsea old-age pensioners, and from admissions alone has all but recouped its $45,000 cost...
