Look shook the dust from its collection of old photographs, ran off 1,000,000 copies of an edition titled Kennedy and His Family in Pictures, which sold for a dollar. In France, the weekly picture magazine Paris Match devoted itself to the widow. "Hommage a Jackie Kennedy," read the cover message; the previous issue had had a cover picture of Jackie at the funeral. Inside, the magazine recapitulated her life in pictures. In reminding French readers about Texas, it also included a full-color shot of Dallas waitresses in abbreviated togas serving drinks by a pool ("On the terrace...
Difficult Choice. Tetanus bacteria lurk in sewage and soil, in dust and rust. They can enter the human body through any penetrating wound, through the unhealed navel of the newborn, and through drug addicts' contaminated dope. There is so little that even the best of medical centers can do once the disease has developed, Dr. Christensen insists prevention is the only reliable cure. Tetanus toxoid is cheap and safe; it rarely causes unwanted reactions. It should first be given in a course of three shots paced a month apart, he says. There should be a booster a year later...
...little can be learned about them by looking only at their surfaces; they are the proper hunting grounds of diggers, who work back through the slow accretion of years.

In Jordan and southern Palestine there are tells that have worn to ground level. Only their potsherds have survived, all ages and types mingled together, their edges rounded like pebbles on a beach. Glueck found many such sites with nothing but quantities of potsherds spread thickly on the ground...
...Life & Death. Capralos sculpts with flat sheets of wax, folded and kneaded. Bolstered by armatures, the wax sometimes bellies out like breastplates, sometimes ripples like drapery in a breeze. He builds a mold around the wax with brick dust and melts out the wax. When the molten bronze pours in, the fluid planes of the sculpture retain in lustrous metal the quickening touch of the artist's hands. Capralos also makes minuscule bronzes, some no more than three inches high, which have the pulpy look of ancient artifacts dug up after centuries. Some are whimsical toys others complex hieroglyphs...
...million-a-year capital spending program. If necessary, Goodyear is even willing to chase potential customers right into space. It is developing a collapsible space station that will inflate in orbit, and a giant "moon tire" that can roll lightly along without sinking into the deep layers of moon dust. The first man on the moon may go for a ride on Goodyear tires...
