Bond is on the trail of that arch-meanie, Ernst Stavros Blofeld (Charles Gray), and a ring of high-placed diamond smugglers who operate in Las Vegas. Somehow mixed up in all this are an eccentric millionaire recluse (hello there, Howard Hughes), a wizened stand-up comic, a crooked mortician, a couple of campy killers named Wint and Kidd, and two bikinied bodyguards who call themselves Bambi and Thumper. They strike a gymnastic blow for Women's Lib by effortlessly bouncing Bond, the sexist pig, off the four walls of a luxurious desert hideaway...

...Indian tribes represented in this show were the last forms of "primitive" art to win general esteem outside their own tribal context. Only ethnologists were interested. The red man's images scarcely influenced white culture-unlike African art, whose impact on early 20th century painting was fundamental. Max Ernst collected kachina dolls, and Jackson Pollock, it is said, was interested in Navajo sand paintings; but as a rule, whether it was treated as knickknacks or, more decently, as ethnographical evidence, Indian art has languished on the fringes of white perception. The Whitney, by inviting its guest curator Norman Feder...

...have seen photographs of it. The gift is a large (about 71 ft. by 12 ft.) portrait of His Holiness, painted in a semi-abstract mode, in which the Pope's emaciated, suffering face and folded hands are the focus of splintering shafts of light. German Painter Ernst Guenter Hansing, 42, sketched his subject during twelve protracted stays at the Vatican over a period of 21 years. Though he never had a private sitting, he was given a front-row seat at papal ceremonies in which to work. "I wanted more than just a picture of a person," says...

...automakers argue that the air cushions might be as dangerous as actual crashes. American Motors officials fear that the giant pillows might inflate unpredictably in the driver's face, perhaps because of defective sensors. Ernst Fiala, Volkswagen's worldwide research director, worries about changes in air pressure and the shock factor inside small cars after the bags suddenly expand. "When you're firing four large air bags, you can reasonably expect that the car will be a wreck," he warns. "The scheme is safety overkill." Moreover, Government tests show that when air bags explode into shape...

...like a squid against the bedroom wall. A skeleton lies across a railroad track, two bony ringers stuck between fleshless lips to whistle an approaching train to its accident. Cliffs become gloomy torsos, a lobster floats in air. The images seem like snippets from a surrealist collage by Max Ernst. In fact, they filled the graphic work of a 19th century German academician named Max Klinger...
