...skinned Negro, what was missing was an adequate portrayal of the worlds he had grown up in and knew best-the farm life of the sharecropper in the South, where he was born, the tense, raucous life of his boyhood in Harlem, where his father was a city health inspector, and Boston, where as a youth Bearden played pro baseball in the Negro leagues. The 15 works on display at Manhattan's Cordier & Ekstrom gallery are meant to fill in the gap. They range from scenes outside sharecroppers' shanties (see color opposite) and springtime in the cotton fields...
Peace Without Penance. Son of a government revenue inspector, the Maharishi discovered his concept of transcendental meditation during two years of seclusion in the Himalayan mountain village of Utar Kashi. The Great Sage's explanation of his message is a trifle opaque: "When the conscious mind expands to embrace deeper levels of thinking, the thought wave becomes more powerful and results in added energy and intelligence." In a word, some skeptics have suggested, "Think." All that is required to achieve this state of "pure being," says the guru, is a little reflective thought, preferably half an hour...
Minues after the Great Bust, a middle-aged woman bystander saw a policeman write down an address and hand it to an inspector. "It's a hippie apartment," he said. "Go over and inspect it."

"This is a free country," explains FAA Inspector Jim Donathan. "Guys can break their necks if they want to. Our job is to be sure they don't kill somebody on the ground." Still, accidents happen, particularly in the hairy sport of pylon racing. While cutting a tight turn around a 55-ft.-high pylon, a plane may pull up to six G.s even as it is being subjected to severe turbulence from the prop wash...
Civilized Deer. Gone are the days when brutish nature and greedy hunters combined to decimate American wildlife. In 1905, Elers Koch, a federal forest inspector, spent an entire month on a pack trip through Montana's Sun River country and saw just one game animal in all that time-a scruffy mountain goat. "Today, if you want a deer or an antelope or a moose," says Cliff Rumford, a Great Falls sporting-goods dealer, "you just...
