...since, numerous searchers have tried to recover the cannon. Finally last week, a team from Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences, using a magnetic device suspended from a helicopter, succeeded in locating the coral-encrusted guns off Endeavour Reef. "We went to collect specimens of fish," said Academy Director H. Radclyffe Roberts. "Finding the cannon was the fun side of it." ∙∙∙ When his wife told a Tokyo reporter last month that he used to consort with geishas, beat her, and "smash things," Japan's Premier Eisaku Sato kept a discreet and diplomatic silence. The Premier...
...nation's increasingly militant black students last week were admonished by a black man who has spent most of his life trying to advance the cause of his race. Speaking at the annual corporate meeting of the N.A.A.C.P., Executive Director Roy Wilkins warned that students demanding separate, all-black departments of study on the nation's campuses are really seeking "what are, patently, Jim Crow schools." Though many black students consider Wilkins a tame, white man's Negro, his argument had a practical ring that was aimed at the moderates. Since the students are going to live...
TRICKY TOM IS AT IT AGAIN read one of the placards waved by 40 or so pickets in front of Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum last week. They were protesting Director Thomas P. F.

Since "blue is the most popular color in gems," according to Henry B. Platt, vice president and director of Tiffany's and the man who gave Tanzanite its name, the potential market for the stone is huge. It is hardly diminished by the fact that Tanzanites, because they are softer and somewhat less refractive than sapphires, are also less expensive: they retail for a maximum...
Consumer Criterion. "We have yet to encounter any legitimate THC in the street trade," says Richard Callahan, New England regional director for the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Narcotics agents throughout the U.S. agree that genuine THC is virtually unobtainable on the street. The reason, say Callahan and other experts, is that the process of synthesizing THC is so complex and costly ($5 to $10 per effective dose) that its manufacture makes no commercial sense, even to the Mafia. According to Stanford University's Psychopharmacologist Leo Hollister, genuine THC in doses as low as 70 milligrams may produce...
