...well. "I think Government payments have something in common with the narcotics habit," he said. "Once on the habit, the victim becomes convinced he cannot live without the drug. In the jargon of the underworld, he's hooked. He'll do most anything to get his next fix, his next check. The pushers, in this case the Government bureaucrats and committees, constantly work to get more farmers hooked and dependent on payments." The upshot, Shuman said, "is very simple: the more that are hooked, the more the payments are, the more assurance of [bureaucrats], jobs and the perpetuation...
...fix came none too soon. Besides being a guide on the way to Mars, Canopus also served to aim Mariner's directional radio antenna back toward earth, enabling Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists to calculate the craft's flight path. Knowing that path, the rocketeers were able to plan a correction for Mariner's original course, which would have taken it past the red planet at a distance of 151,000 miles-too far for it to shoot any meaningful television pictures. But shortly before that correction could be made last week, Mariner went into an unexpected roll...
...long gash in her bow and was shipping tons of sea water into her No. 1 hold. Minutes later, a Long Island Coast Guard radio monitored a distress call from the Stolt Dagali. The Coast Guard asked Washington's Federal Communications Commission for a radio fix on the vessels. Navy and Coast Guard helicopters and planes were dispatched from Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Naval Air Station and the Lakehurst, N.J., Naval Air Station.

Few actually get into this fix; the state has collected only $30,000 from paying prisoners in the past nine years. But the possibilities are clear from the record of Lifer Roman Olezniczak (murder, bank robbery), the state's top paying con. While earning $5 a month in the Jackson prison laundry, Olezniczak has over...
...been called a neo-Dadaist, a belated abstract expressionist, a junk assemblagist, a pop artist, a hyper-cubist, even an anti-artist and, of course, a nut. "Great!" he says. "I like that. I'm only concerned when the critics stop changing their minds and get a fix on me." Getting a fix is hard because change is the essence of his experimentation. Yet at the heart of Rauschenberg's work is a clear conviction that a heightened order of truth can be found in everything and anywhere, even in the garbage dump. "Art," he says, in what...
