...article on the brain [Jan. 14], TIME does not refer even once to the designer and creator of the brain. It gives credit to Beethoven for his Symphony No. 5 in C Minor but not to God for the brain. In previous centuries men studied the brain and its functions and at the same time admired and acknowledged its designer. In our humanistic and scientific period, we admire the marvel of the brain and that is all. It is too bad because the scientific people who leave out the most important fact about creation do not know the satisfactions they...
...pumper, was designed to enable water to run in whatever direction it wanted, including uphill. Nearly every piece in the show is supposed to pump either water or air, though why their inventor wanted to tamper with the elements in the first place is left unexplained. The machines' alleged creator, Jim Rippe's mythical great-uncle Jeremiah, was a visionary, not a man of the world.

...with the barbells. Sometimes his colleagues are directly affected by his vigor: Thurmond holds the Senate filibuster record of 24 hours and 18 minutes, and in 1964 he angrily wrestled Texas Democrat Ralph Yarborough to the floor of a Senate corridor. ∙ When Jonathan Livingston Seagull's creator Richard Bach sold the supergull to Hollywood, he believed he had ensured the movie's integrity. He thought his contract entitled him to write the script and to retain control over the finished film. Enter Producer-Director Hall Bartlett, who was so proud of his acquisition that he declared...
...Grass that visited Harvard this week has lost that protective distance. He speaks the rhetoric of democratic socialism now, and speaks in the new book in the dual role of reminiscing campaigner, in the documentary sections, and of creator, in the fictional sections. Grass claims that his books are to be kept separate from his political pronouncements, but he is vague and contradictory on the limits of his two identities as "citizen" and as "writer." The same ambiguity weakens his book, and forms the snail motif to work itself out almost into absurdity trying to hold the pieces together. Grass...
