There were moments, however, amid the silences, grunts and inconsequential chatter of the tapes, that elicited happy looks from Sirhan's defenders. When talk somehow turned to jigsaw puzzles, Sirhan was heard to remark impatiently: "If I can't do it fast enough-if I can't match the whole picture-I give up." To Dr. Martin Schorr, a San Diego psychologist, much of Sirhan's taped prattle reinforced his own diagnosis of acute mental illness. Schorr subjected Sirhan to batteries of psychiatric tests, which showed, he contended, hypomania and paranoia. As for hypomania, "There...
...These jigsaw pieces do not fit together into a neat picture. Dr. Robert H. Furman of the University of Oklahoma says that the dietary habits of men who have died of heart attacks, as compared with the diets of survivors of the same age, living on the same street, doing the same work, smoking as much and exercising as little, show no consistent difference. This means, to Furman, that the men who have heart attacks-in many cases, fatal-early in life are a metabolically distinct group. The trouble is that so far no one has found a quick test...

...sets himself up as a kid scientist, still wet under the nose, making it because of a will to conquer DNA, despite his unpreparedness in chemistry, X-ray crystallography, and mathematics. He portrays the discovery as little more than the fitting together of the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, with one eye on the clock because Pauling is almost there...
Buildings, police, slum kids, street crowds and the mayor-Bearden worked them all into the jigsaw combination of photomontage and pasteup collage that has become his personal style. It is a style he developed after years of study under such teachers as Satirist George Grosz and at Manhattan's Art Students League, and he uses it with remarkable versatility (TIME, Oct. 27, 1967). With it, he has portrayed the varied aspects of the world he has known-from Deep South sharecropper farms to the Harlem neighborhoods, where he spent his youth and later tried his hand at professional songwriting...
