...some people always late? Why are some people always on time? Depending on whom one asks, the answer is in the stars, the psyche or the cold eye of reason. In eight cases out of ten, asserts Astrologist Linda Goodman (Sun Signs), people who were born under Aries, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Pisces will be late most of the time. A Leo will be punctual and tardy in equal measure. "No one," she says, "tells the lion what...
Oldenburg, it was feared, might impair the playland's image as "a family-oriented operation." Fortunately, the Gemini company (TIME, Jan. 18) stepped in to sponsor the icebag. Puffing and rearing to its full 18-ft. height like some cross between Mount Fuji, a tomato and a dinosaur, it has turned out to be one of the key works in Oldenburg's brilliant career...
...first power plant to go into operation in 1963 near Farmington, N. Mex., turned out to be a tremendous polluter. The gray plume from its smokestacks has been tracked by plane over 215 miles and was easily visible to the Gemini 12 astronauts from 170 miles in space. Now the whole complex has become the focus of the biggest environmental controversy since the discovery of Alaska's oil. Last week the Senate Interior Committee held hearings in each of the affected states to sort out the conflicting arguments...

Reason: he was plagued by Meniere's syndrome, a puzzling disturbance of the inner ear, possibly caused by a buildup of fluids, that produces vertigo, nausea and ringing noises. An able...
Vibrant Impresario. Tyler's policy is to invite four artists a year to produce a suite of prints. Like a mustachioed impresario fussing over his stars, Tyler supplies his charges at Gemini with everything from Arches cover paper to limousines and sushi fish. His first catch was Josef Albers, and the list of his successors reads like a lexicon of the avantgarde. Tyler, as patron, also has his own rules and his own pride of craft. He explains: "Each man will stay about three weeks, doing the drawings and consulting while we're making proofs...
