Funny Hair. Rudi is content right where he is. He likes London, partly because "nobody laughs at my hair." (They laughed at it in Stuttgart, especially when he turned up at rehearsals one day wearing curlers.) His favorite picture is a closeup of his head which looks like Simba the lion in repose. A restless creature, he roams the streets late at night looking like some shabby fugitive, in his black wrap-around leather coat and Dutch-boy cap. Three or four nights a week he drops in at a private, after-hours Soho club called the Ad Lib, where...
Delightful Puff. Playing variations on a theme comes naturally to a jazz musician. Rivers has carried much of this facility over into his painting. As jazz will use parts of a familiar tune to take off for bluer skies, Rivers is content to borrow bits of the old masters or leave parts of his painting unfinished and out of focus. Sometimes he will simply jot down on the canvas notations to color an area ocher or blue and then not bother coloring it. By this, he is leaving hints at the process of art as a form of living improvisation...
...tomorrow's march should be clear in their own minds about what kind of opposition they are expressing. The advantages of a march lie ultimately in the weight of numbers and the impact of publicity. All too often, the confusion and emotion of demonstration tend to cloud the content of the positions proposed.

Ecumenical Effect. So far, clergymen are cautiously optimistic that the spirit will last. Now, says the Rev. Robert Spike of the National Council of Churches' Commission on Religion and Race, "we face the question as to how we can put flesh on the content of this commitment." Spike believes that there were "a lot of foolish, wildcat activities" at Selma, and some clerics, notably Roman Catholic and Episcopal bishops in Alabama, wondered whether men of the cloth should have been there...
...issued bullish annual reports. Pennsy Chairman Stuart T. Saunders, 55, glowed over his road's best performance in eight years: earnings doubled, revenues reached a record $907 million and the road resumed paying quarterly dividends after a seven-year lapse. Central President Alfred Perlman, 62, was hardly less content; the Central's earnings of $35.5 million on its $733 million in revenues were 21 times those of 1963, largely because the Central has cut its debt by $256 million since 1957 and thus shaved its interest and service charges by $7,000,000. Nonetheless, single-year totals...
