China's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution has changed course numerous times in its tumultuous 27-month existence. The alternating current is provided, of course, by Mao Tse-tung. His heart is with the radicals, who advocate violence to cleanse conservatism from China, but his head must sometimes nod to the moderates, who say that stability is needed before the revolution can make progress. Last week a set of new directives from Peking made it clear that Mao has decided, at least for now, on head over heart...
Died. J. R. Cominsky, 69, longtime publisher of the Saturday Review and vice president since 1961 of its parent, McCall Corp.; of a heart attack; in Asbury Park, N.J.

Significantly, the heart received least attention from the thanatologists.

But in cases of massive head wounds, said Neurosurgeon William Sweet, a member of the committee...
Like the prostitute with the heart of gold, the soldier who quakes at the sight of senseless human misery (see the Green Berets) is becoming a well-known cliche, but McGuire slides into the type, probably not as a sham. He is more a soldier of fortune than soldier, however, for he says he never carried a gun, even for personal protection in Biafra. ("I figured we had enough guns and ammo on the plane already.") He left Biafra at the end of July, after his mother died in the United States and his close call made him suspicious...
