...Angeles has benefited enormously from the new influx of Asian Pacific people. The city is fast becoming the greatest cosmopolitan metropolis of the world: a gateway for trade and peoples from all over the Pacific. This commerce and immigration will eventually eclipse the magnitude of the movement that crossed the Atlantic earlier in this century. Los Angeles is not so much an uneasy new melting pot, as TIME calls it, as a modern miracle in which the joining of East and West has revitalized the city...

His third wife, Cynthia, 56, joined him in the apparent double suicide. Koestler's act was in keeping...
...hunters' magazine to give the deer's side of the story. Don't look for lectures on chastity in Cosmopolitan or Penthouse. Don't expect defenses of Interior Secretary James Watt in an environmental journal. The unstated premise of all specialized magazines is: Get your balance elsewhere; we're writing for like-minded people...
