Pocked Dignity. Legman's revenge was Fake Revolt (1967), an overheated assault on the youth rebellion. "COOL," he concluded, "is the new venereal disease." Despite such desert-prophet eruptions, Legman's scholarship continued. The Limerick is a massive accumulation of the world's most suggestive examples. The Horn Book contains studies in erotic folklore. The Guilt of the Templars is about heresy and sexual perversion in the medieval order of the Knights Templar. Ora genitalism is an elegantly written and anything but smutty study subtitled "Oral Techniques in Genital Excitation." Legman is also an authority on origami...
...Cool and Balanced. Once all the arguments have been heard, Judge Muir intends to make his decision next week. It will probably be the toughest question that has ever faced the 43-year-old jurist, who specialized in municipal law before his appointment to the bench in 1971. "He is cool, and very balanced," says one observer. "He does his homework and weighs everything very carefully."

"My father never has much to say to me, but I know he thinks about a lot of things. I know he's driving himself almost crazy thinking about these things ... and yet he sure...
...feelings may have been tempered of late by some cool reconsideration. "He's done things for me for so long," he says of his father. "Now it's my turn to sacrifice a little for him." In fact, there was a party in the fashionable Washington suburb of McLean, Va., last week for Andy Warhol. Where was Jack? Off somewhere in the mountains of Utah, fishing...
...reason or another, have not closely identified themselves with particular groups or movements. Some of the work is familiar to a U.S. audience: the sumptuous paranoia of Francis Bacon's images (TIME, April 7) basking like altarpieces behind their glittering shields of glass and gold leaf; the cool, infrangible poise of David Hockney's still lifes and portraits. Pierre Alechinsky, the Belgian painter, is represented by a group of delectably complex, exuberant paintings, swarming with organic life like microscope slides rendered in calligraphy. There is a group of Sobreteixims by the 82-year-old Joan Miro, hangings woven...
