Muddling Through. How is Keren's Uncle Sam-looking more and more like a mellowed John Bull-making out in the hectic second half of the 20th century? Beset by technological revolution and Negro unrest at home and by costly war abroad, he is still doing quite well for an old guy. In a two-out-of-three-cheers mood, Heren defends the basics of U.S. foreign policy by pointing out that "great powers have always accepted the necessity to intervene."

After 16 years spent in demonstrating that jazz can be for the mind as well as the emotions, Brubeck (TIME cover, Nov. 8, 1954) decided to cut down on performing and devote more time to composing.

He can break 80 on anyone's golf course, execute a perfect jackknife off a diving board, or play expert handball. But rarely does Hardy have the time. He has had to give up basketball altogether-a fact that saddens Irish fans who remember Hardy as a sophomore, coming off the bench to break up a game with Ohio University. Kevin also had to skip spring football practice this year because he was busy batting...
