...potential hit, Surf's Up is also a song that documents the kind of personal dilemma that can afflict a rock star if he is not careful. Beginning in 1965, Brian could no longer find any satisfaction in sunny days, surfing and driving. He seemed to his friends to be lost and shattered, obviously convinced that the world was too much to cope with. Accordingly, Brian quit public life. Though he continued to make recordings (including the cleverly innovative Pet Sounds), he sometimes would not come out of his Bel Air house for six months at a stretch. Among...

There is also something for daddy-the swimsuit finals, which unwittingly mock the characteristic American dilemma of having to select from many tempting choices that all seem exactly alike...

After delivering some lectures and pressing for the restoration of democratic institutions, last September the U.S. lifted an embargo on deliveries of heavy military equipment to the Greek junta. An even more painful dilemma for the conscientious concerns Pakistan. In March the government there launched savage warfare against the East Pakistanis, who were seeking greater autonomy for their part of the divided country (TIME cover, Aug. 2). The U.S. quickly announced that it would stop authorizing arms shipments, though in fact they have continued...
