What drove Solzhenitsyn beyond endurance was a recent KGB raid on the one-room shack that he had built with his own hands in the village of Rozhdestvo, 25 miles southwest of Moscow. The author often takes refuge there, to write and enjoy the peace of the countryside. That peace was abruptly broken two weeks ago by KGB agents who arrived at the shack in Solzhenitsyn's absence, apparently to set up a bugging apparatus and search for documents that they hoped might incriminate him. But a friend of the writer's, Alexander Gorlov, surprised them...
...Ginsberg does not exactly enjoy his obsession, another TIME watcher is more positive (and eclectic). Matthew Fox, a Roman Catholic theologian, this year published Religion U.S.A.: Religion and Culture by Way of TIME Magazine. In 451 pages, Fox argues that the magazine is as symbolic was its era's attitudes and aspirations as Chartres Cathedral was of the Middle Ages...
...dawn one morning last week, soldiers began hammering on doors in Belfast, Londonderry and half a dozen smaller towns in Ulster, rounding up some 300 suspected members of the I.R.A. "We are acting," said Faulkner, "not to suppress freedom but to allow the overwhelming mass of our people to enjoy freedom from fear of the gunman, of the nightly explosion, of kangaroo courts and all the apparatus of terrorism." Then in a mild concession to Catholic opinion, he slapped a six-month ban on all parades, including the potentially explosive Apprentice Boys of Derry march scheduled for last week...
Died. James F. ("Prophet") Jones, 63, flamboyant Father Divine-style evangelist who amassed a fortune while fishing for souls; in Detroit. "My faith," he said, "teaches people to live to enjoy their milk and honey and chariots -Cadillacs, Lincolns, Chryslers-here on earth instead of going to heaven." As "Dominion Ruler" of his Detroit-based Church of the Universal Triumph, Jones willingly accepted gifts from his black congregation. At his peak in the 1950s, Jones' inventory included a 54-room mansion, a gold-handled cane, a $17,000 diamond bracelet, a $12,900 white mink coat and several limousines...
Almost anyone, however, might mildly enjoy Evel Knievel, a cheerfully silly motorcycle saga based on the life of a professional daredevil and his wife Linda (Sue Lyon). The movie is best when dealing with Knievel's early exploits: harassing the small-town Montana cops, riding into a dormitory full of giggling co-eds in pursuit of his girl friend, and stunt driving in a rundown local rodeo. Soon Knievel (played improbably but ingratiatingly by George Hamilton) begins to build quite a reputation for himself, and even becomes a sort of folk hero. Crowds turn out from all over...
