Indeed, as it celebrated its first anniversary last week, it seemed odd that until a year ago, the U.S. had no single agency to police the safety of its largest single industry-transportation. Under the chairmanship of Joseph O'Connell Jr., 62, a tax lawyer who has been in and out of government since 1933, the safety board has not only imposed some order on the safety work of Washington's raft of regulatory agencies; it has also confounded the skeptics who thought it unequal to its herculean task...
...Joseph Rizor, 40, a carpenter from Salinas, Calif., became the second heart-transplant subject for Stanford University's pioneering Dr. Norman E. Shumway Jr. The victim of three heart attacks within seven years, Rizor had been longing for a transplant since he heard of Dr. Christiaan N. Barnard's first operation in Cape Town last December. "At first," says his wife Eileen, "I was shocked by the idea. But time and the knowledge of how desperately my husband wanted the operation made me realize that it might be his only chance to live."

Much of the time, Lord Cherwell (Joseph Shaw) confers with Churchill on the best tactics to follow. Cherwell, Churchill's friend and wartime scientific adviser, is presented as an eminence noire who, with a kind of icy diaholism, determined the Prime Minister's policies on both Sikorski and mass bombings. This again is at distinct variance with the historical record...
...first season as impresario of off-Broadway's Public Theater, Producer Joseph Papp has rocked his subscribers with the original production of Hair (see above), shocked them with a freewheeling fantasia on the theme of Hamlet, and socked them with the allegorical, enigmatical Ergo (TIME, March 8). The theater's latest offering, spiky satire from Czechoslovakia called The Memorandum, winds up its season with a nervous laugh...
