...simple instructions that Psychiatrist S. Harvard Kaufman and Psychologist Robert C. Burns give to children sent to them for treatment. In their new book, Kinetic Family Drawings (Brunner/Mazel; $8.95) the two therapists show some of the kinetic, or action, pictures drawn by their young patients and explain how the crude art reveals more fully than thousands of words what is troubling the children...
While the 207,000-ton supertanker Marpessa was steaming southward past the coast of Senegal to pick up a load of crude oil from the Persian Gulf, her crewmen were routinely spray cleaning her empty oil tanks with jets of sea water. For no apparent reason, an explosion ripped through the hull, sending the brand-new ship to the bottom.

Bonavena is a granite block of a man who had never been knocked out while winning 46 of 54 fights. He is so crude he can make the classiest opponents look bad. Heavyweight Champion Joe Frazier found out the hard way: in the process of winning two decisions from Oscar, the champ was flattened twice and had to suffer through 25 punishing rounds. Now it was Ali's turn. He was still fresh from...
