Nixon declines to comment about the new revelations. He is protected from fur ther prosecution for any crimes committed during his presidency by President Ford's full pardon in 1974. Haldeman, now living in California, said, "I really don't care what's on the tapes. They're ten years old." But the former President's lawyers, in their continuing effort to keep the 4,000 hours of unreleased Nixon tapes private, may raise a ruckus over how the newly disclosed transcript found its way into the Times. Hersh, who is writing a book about...
...which belong in psychiatric journals or future editions of Ripley's Believe It Or Not. We meet Dale, a 33-year-old man who is deeply upset each day by the late afternoon sun. There is Tim, a boy of three who won't eat in the presence of fur, fuzz or feathers. And there is the young man so traumatized by an incestual experience of his youth he "spent most of his waking hours in elaborate rituals of bathing." This is the stuff of grade B movies. It is also the stuff on which Wolpe comes to rely...
...there is so much to be said for letting the fur fly, for openly acknowledging your enemy and allowing him to have at you with the full force of his puny, flaccid mind.

The avant-garde sculpture he imported for a 1936 show so bewildered U.S. Customs officials that they refused to recognize it as art and tried to levy heavy duties. His decision to display such objects as an oval wheel and a fur-lined teacup irked the museum's trustees, and one show devoted entirely to an elaborate shoeshine stand crafted by little-known Primitive Artist Joe Milone nearly got him fired. But he also presented landmark shows on surrealism, Dada, Bauhaus architecture, machine design and artists from Edward Hopper to Claes...
Only 2 in. to 3 in. long when fully grown, the gypsy-moth caterpillar looks harmless enough: a brownish, multilegged strip of fur with telltale pairs of red and blue spots running down its back. But looks are deceptive. Ever since 1869, when it was inadvertently turned loose in Massachusetts by a misguided French naturalist who wanted to cross the European gypsy with the silkworm to produce a disease-resistant hybrid that would eat virtually anything, it has been munching its way across the Northeast. As many as 30,000 caterpillars can infest a single tree, and each of them...
