...generation. Then began the adroit maneuvering that brought Germany into NATO and won back the Saar coal and steel complex that France had taken. In 1953, he made his first trip to the U.S. and stood at attention in Arlington Cemetery while an American military band played Deutschland fiber Alles...
Surprisingly, what the people saw has all the surface appeal of a ten-week-dead rabbit. Kienholz is the man who immortalized (and cannibalized) an entire Los Angeles bar to make The Beanery (TIME, Dec. 17). His grotesque assemblages are covered with epoxy and fiber glass. They bristle with real bones, felt-covered bric-a-brac, and unglamorized junk. "All the little tragedies are evident in junk," he says, and he has made the junk heap his souvenir album...
Embalmed Nostalgia. Kienholz's strategy is to preserve the past in his works, coating his junk assemblages in a rock-hard veneer of fiber glass. He handles decay as a time clock between the ever fresh present and the fullness of a lifetime, meticulously reconstructing the scene, down to an original 1943 calendar pinned on the wall of Roxy's.

All told, the textile makers will spend more than $1 billion on new and expanded plants this year-as much as the total invested in the last four years...
...police force and decided to start one. His name is still legend in law enforcement circles for the methods that he pioneered. His stiff rules of conduct are now standardized as a code of ethics for police across the country. His department was the first to use blood, fiber and soil analysis in detection (1907); the first to use the lie detector (a Berkeley cop collaborated in inventing the polygraph in 1921); it was an early developer of a fingerprint classification system (1924) and the first to use radio-equipped squad cars...
