...convoluted as the philosophical themes underlying them are abstract, but it basically emerges as follows: Kurata, a sort of interplanetary Kung-Fu champion, encounters and is challenged by a mysterious rival, Fu-Shen. Soundly trounced, the humiliated Kurata loses all that he holds most dear--his wife, his eyesight, his power and his status. To recover, he slips off to an ambiguous other world--"a physical and mental wilderness"--where he learns that by suffering and surviving he can become invulnerable. Then, having regained his strength, Kurata crosses back to the world of reality. As the album ends, Kurata effortlessly...
...minor league team at once. Said he: "I wanted to get started toward the World Series." With an unusually large scouting staff, the Royals searched the high schools for players. Some of them attended the Royals' Baseball Academy in Sarasota, Fla. Young athletes were tested for speed, eyesight and reflexes.

Superman books, TV and radio shows have earned tens of millions of dollars. The first comic book starring Superman currently sells for $3,000. Shuster and Siegel have repeatedly brought suit to share Superman's millions-but without success. Last spring they simply asked Warner Communications, Inc. (which now owns the copyright) to recognize their moral right to some of the profits. Last week Warner agreed...
...arrangement between the club and the University apparently grows from Harvard's failure to develop an interim use for the idle and. Now that this "perpetual deficit," as one administrator calls it, has been diagnosed, Harvard can no longer even plead bad eyesight or a poor memory. The grassy plot should be opened to the public, both those affiliated with the University and those who are not. Initial costs and maintenance fees, a concern raised by some administrators, can be kept low by closing the park at night and opening only one entrance in the day away from heavily traveled...
