JEFFERSON AIRPLANE: BLESS ITS POINTED LITTLE HEAD (RCA). The Airplane may be coming down to earth. Recorded live for the first time, they change head music to body music as they repeat some old songs (Somebody to Lore, Plastic Fantastic Lover).

...immense tarpaulin dropped and 100 doves soared into the sky as Jacques Lipchitz's latest sculpture, Peace on Earth, was unveiled at the Music Center in Los Angeles.

Lipchitz spent three years on the project, laboring in his studio in central Italy. His efforts were interrupted by the Florentine floods of 1966, which devastated his retreat-as well as two-thirds of the design's original...

Most scientists agree that the chances of life on the moon are remote, and some believe that any moon organisms would have reached the earth long ago on particles ejected from the moon during meteor impacts. If they are wrong, however, and Apollo 11 returns to earth with unexpected visitors, NASA's revised plans may well be inadequate to cope with them...
