...past he has toiled through sex research in the suburbs, the inequities of book censorship, race and the presidency, a modern religious crisis, and the politics of the Nobel Prize. The fatty results of these labors are always an elaborate story line, with the action dictated by a clash of differing characters. The Fan Club has that kind of plot too, and the idea of a love goddess turned doughty liberationist is a nice embellishment. It is of course ridiculous, but that does not much matter in a book whose characters say things like "We don't have...
...Vatican and the Roman Catholic government of Spain confronted one another last week in the country's most ominous church-state clash in more than 40 years. The regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco was seeking to expel the Bishop of Bilbao, Antonio Añoveros Ataun, 64, for statements that sharply opposed government policy. Madrid even hinted that it might break the 1953 concordat that protects Catholicism's legal position as Spain's state religion. In response, churchmen warned that any official-presumably including Premier Carlos Arias Navarro and even the pious Caudillo himself-who moved against...
Still Testing. The energy crisis is indirectly intensifying the arms boom. Middle East nations, flush with fast-mounting oil revenues, are gobbling up military hardware to brandish against Israel and, occasionally, each other.

Some of her images are altered by overexposure, superimposed frames, and silver print for effect. Judy Dater is interesting because she emphasizes women and their bodies. Her results clash resoundingly with the aura men produce from similar models. These aren't demurring women about to extend or accept an invitation, they confront you with their sexuality. Some are beautiful, yet that's not what attracts attention. These women are provocative because their individuality and intellectuality aren't stifled...
Putting together a TIME cover can produce a spirited clash of viewpoints among writers, editors, correspondents and reporter-researchers - one that ultimately serves to balance and enhance the finished story. Such was the case in dealing with the complex and controversial subject of psychic phenomena. Los Angeles Correspondent Richard Duncan was particularly open in his approach. One day at U.C.L.A., Duncan submitted himself to Kirlian photography, a process for measuring psychic energy. Although there were too few exposures to prove or disprove anything to his satisfaction, Duncan was interested to see that the developed film of his fingertips showed blotchy...
