Since 1980 Bentkowski has designed four TIME special issues. These were in- depth reports on the Soviet Union (1980); Japan (1983); the latest wave of immigrants to the U.S. (1985); and American Best (1986), a journalistic celebration of everything that America and Americans do well. His eye-catching page design has also sharpened the look of TIME's annual Man of the Year and Images issues. Not surprisingly, many of Bentkowski's visual ideas have made their way from the special issues into our regular weekly pages. "Within the confines of TIME's weekly responsibilities," he says, "we've tried...
What is it about fiber-optic cable? Marine biologists accompanying the repair teams have tried to find out. Along the way, they have learned that sharks generally do not feed below 3,000 ft., thus making it unnecessary to protect cable below that depth. They have also discovered previously unknown species of fish. But they still do not know why the new cable is so appealing. The favored theory: sharks attack the lines after detecting faint electric fields that trigger a feeding reflex. "Who knows why they are attracted to it?" muses Gary Nelson, chief of ichthyology at the American...
...from the outside looking in. Cerebral, for one thing, which explains the attraction to an educated crowd. Pressed for specifics, his students tend to develop a moist eye, a bemused grin, an air of higher enlightenment and a condescending kiss-off: "Really too complicated to go into in depth." Certain words get great play: compassion, creativity, generosity, grace, humor, kindness, love, sanity, scholarship. It is, say religious scholars, more of a method than a religion. The relationship between teacher and student is similar to that between psychiatrist and patient, goes one definition. There has to be full trust, otherwise nothing...
...teachers of our generation," said David I. Rome, president of Schocken Books Inc., a New York City publishing company, and for many years secretary to Rinpoche, "because of the transitional role he played in transplanting this 2,600-year-old religion to the West -- without compromising the religion, the depth of the religion." And yes, said Rome, "we definitely expect him to come back and beseech him to come back, but just as in his life he did things in unexpected ways, we cannot expect him to mind a timetable...
...Monitor lies bottom up some 220 ft. below the surface, balanced on its cylindrical "cheesebox" turret. Since divers cannot work easily at that depth, scientists knew only that the ship's metal hull was corroded, but they did not know how badly. Indeed, the new data gathered on the Monitor < represent a significant advance in undersea research. "This is a prototype for marine archaeology," says NOAA Spokesman Dane Kanop. "We are writing the book...
