...Tutty. Less starry-eyed than Piet, the other couples also begin to ease themselves into each other's beds-some out of boredom, some for revenge, some because they find nothing forbidden, and others because in the past too much has been forbidden. Over the whole group hovers the satanic, death-worshiping Freddy Thorne. He is a dentist by trade, but in fact he is a faithless St. Augustine indulging his "hyena appetite for dirty truths" in his role as Updike's designated "priest" to the tribe. "He thinks we're a magic circle of heads...
Most of the new works are by California artists who practice a particularly virulent form of pop art known as "funk," the aim of which seems to be to put on everything and everyone in sight. Mentor of the group is San Francisco Sculptor Peter Voulkos, now 44, who a decade ago at Los Angeles' Otis Art Institute introduced a whole generation of art students to ceramics. Among his disciples was Berkeley's James Melchert, 37, who today turns out baffling ceramic figurines molded like coffee mugs, Mickey Mouse heads or crumpled rags; they are to be used...
...died during treatment and two turned out to have had both major coronary arteries blocked. These two were among twelve who were in cardiogenic shock (almost complete circulatory collapse), a condition that carries a forbidding mortality of 80% or more. But all ten others, even in this worst-risk group, survived...
...Europe's biggest privately owned airline; in Colchester, England. In 1934, Wyatt joined Airwork Ltd., an aviation-equipment supplier, became managing director in 1938, in the postwar years snapped up smaller independent airlines to form BUA, and in 1961 created Air Holdings Ltd., a financial umbrella for the group, which recently agreed to purchase 50 Lockheed airbuses for $750 million, intending to use or resell the planes overseas...
Somewhat belatedly, Astronomer Anthony Hewish, leader of the Cambridge University group that discovered pulsars (TIME, March 15), revealed the positions and the pulse rates of pulsars 2, 3 and 4. One of them blips every 1.27 seconds, another at 1.19-second intervals-close to the 1.34-second period previously reported for pulsar 1. Pulsar 4 pulses significantly faster: every quarter of a second. In addition, Hewish estimated that the fast-pulsing source is only 50 light-years away, compared with the 200-light-year distance he calculated for pulsar...
