...network and the lowbrow Light Programme. But this small minority can tune in on the best brains, the best music and the best drama Britain can produce. Not all of the Third's intellectual caviar is equally palatable: it ranges from odd items like "An Ecologist among the Hopi" to Scientist Fred Hoyle's exciting series of lectures on the universe, which proved so popular that they were rebroadcast on the Home...
...already shown, in response to requests: a one-armed paper hanger in action, a man fighting a bear, another wrestling an alligator, a boxer fighting a wrestler, a 600-lb. cowboy mounted on a luckless nag, a close-up of a lady swallowing swords, a swallower of goldfish, a Hopi Indian rain dance complete with rattlesnake, a scientist who showed (with the help of liquid air at 300° F. below zero) what the world might be like if the sun went out. For last week's show, one "Cannonball" Martin came out of retirement to be pounded before...

A letter to the President signed by the heads of the two Hopi Indian clans from Old Oraibi Indian village asked release of all Hopis in uniform, on grounds that the Hopis wanted only to live a peaceful life their own way and had never made any treaty of alliance with the U.S. anyway.

He hastened into the desert, shot a mule deer, skinned it, painted a picture on the hide, and sent it off. The painted hide, complete with head and tail, now hangs in the office where Paepcke is ruminating...
Much of Pitman's work has been for the University. Not only has he made the two Harvard models (plus a third yet to come of the University in 1677) but also the various models in the Peabody Museum--the Hopi Indians, the cliff dwellers, and the 23 models for the Harvard Forestry Department. These forestry models were Pitman's biggest job; in one series, he had to exhibit the changes in the vegetation of a typical New England farm from the Seventeenth century to the present. In each of the models, the trees and shrubs had to be perfectly...
