...immediately after the election that Nixon aides passed word that the President-elect wanted a new man. The ostensible reason: the party needed an articulate, attractive spokesman to project vitality. Blind in one eye, squat of build, chubby of face and soporific as a speaker, Bliss, at 61, could hardly meet that requirement. Nonetheless, the rationale for wanting him out was somewhat specious. National chairmen rarely serve as showboats, and when a party controls the White House, its public image lives there. After Republican Governors and national committeemen protested, Nixon eased off. In January, he invited Bliss...
...process," Sturtevant has also rendered herself somewhat ridiculous (she once slathered herself with shaving foam to pose for her version of Man Ray's photograph of Marcel Duchamp). This disturbs her not one whit. "I have no place at all," she says, with a faraway look in her eye, "except in relation to the total structure. What interests me is not communicating but creating change. Some people feel that a great change in esthetics in general is happening, though few understand exactly why.

For that matter, the trend is not at all new, but it is stronger this year than it was last and likely to continue growing in strength for quite a while. The implications of this growth for the intensified interaction...
...captured by terrestrial gravity (TIME, Feb. 3, 1967). After the capture, he speculates, an atmosphere and oceans may have formed on the moon and lasted long enough to support the evolution of complex molecules that were forerunners of life. Singer is attempting to complete the theory while keeping one eye on the fast-moving Apollo moon program. "The idea is to try to work all this out before the moon samples are brought back and examined for evidence of such events. That's the real fun of it all-to be able to say 'I told...
