...General Motors doesn't want people wandering around on their own in there," says a student guard. He points to the fence beyond which innocent-looking woods and fields stretch away through southern Michigan. The only authorized way in proves to be a shuttle bus. Bearing two Chrysler engineers and an average American car owner, pitifully eager for any word of mileage efficiency to come, it cruises along winding roads with nothing except trees in view. Nothing, that is, until the road opens on a vast stretch of black tarmac, 67 acres of it, set in the hills near...
...silver-coated plates in 1839. "Photography was art from the moment the first shutter clicked," insists Graham Nash, 37, a San Francisco musician (formerly of Crosby, Stills and Nash), who owns one of the largest private collections on the West Coast. But only in the past decade has the general public placed photography alongside the other major arts. The first commercially successful New York City gallery devoted solely to photographs was opened in 1969 by Lee Witkin, who is credited with helping start the boom. Only in the past two or three years have collectors been willing...
...Administration and Federal Trade Commission have launched investigations, and local authorities are cracking down. Some people are suing.

Some operators are switching to a new ploy: offering to implant human hair fibers. But dermatologists warn that fibers collected from a number of people can provoke even more serious problems...

Colleges are valuable, expensive and above all nonprofit institutions. Federal grants given for research have often been regarded as a general fund that can justifiably be used for allied but unauthorized expenses. University administrators, in fact, say that what is needed now, given the economic pinch, is more accounting flexibility rather than less...
...wives nor biographers could succeed in following. He was a passive, gentle, largely inarticulate man. His Hollywood career flourished as long as he had a producer, Joseph M. Schenk, who gave him independence and financial protection. Under such conditions, Keaton made at least two films, The Navigator and The General, that are unquestioned classics of the silent era. Unfortunately, Keaton's comedies did not show the profits of Chaplin's or of Harold Lloyd's, and he became vulnerable to a takeover. His career was not killed by the advent of the talkies, as is often assumed...
