...work of Gerald Scarfe, 31, the British artist-cartoonist-satirist whose grotesque caricatures in the British press (TIME, July 15, 1966) have been the nemesis of the high, mighty and famous, from Lyndon Johnson to Queen Elizabeth. For TIME, Scarfe went beyond his usual two-dimensional pen and chose special weapons: papier-mâché, paste, wire, sticks and watercolors...
...allegedly rigging the stock of two small companies traded on the American Exchange. Alex C.

Thieu decided that the Communists were Viet Nam's real enemy, and he sneaked off to Saigon. There he tried the merchant marine and won an officer's rating, but he turned down a billet...
Passionate Know-How. Jarrell's chosen theme was life made precious through knowledge of its vulnerability, and with unerring instinct he chose to express it often through the reveries of a woman -a woman who hides her deepest findings about life lest they destroy family morale. The theme is best expressed in "The Woman at the Washington...
