...Video Boy" [Jan. 26] prompts me to write to tell you how far-reaching are the influences of "the red and white jour nal." I have for several years been conducting research on a glaucoma-like eye enlargement in birds. A TIME article, "Those Tired Children" [Nov. 6, 1964] prompted me to try subjecting chicks to continuous TV.

She revisits the scene of her honeymoon-but was it 23, or 24 years ago? -with secret hopes of reigniting the ardors of early love. Her husband is a taut rather than tired businessman who has kept his eye on his weight and his secretary. The wife has suspected as much: "You were working three nights a week-we weren't getting any richer." She seems put out that her husband had no more enterprise than to pick his secretary as bedmate.
