Others are certainly trying. Boston's Carl Yastrzemski and Minnesota's Harmon Killebrew have slammed 28 home runs apiece. In the National League, San Francisco's Willie McCovey and Cincinnati's Lee May also have 28, while Atlanta's durable Hank Aaron has 24, to bring his career total to 534. With the season little more than half over, seven or eight hitters thus have a shot at hitting 50 or more home runs-a feat that has been accomplished by only nine players in major league history.* If 1968 was the year...
...make points just as effectively with unusual sounds and effects. For Hell in the Pacific, he wrote mostly in a serialistic orchestral style, but at one point bounced golf balls on the strings of a piano to underline the irrational hatred between the film's antagonists, Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune. In the recent Che!, he suggested the primitiveness of the Bolivian mountains by conjuring up an original score based on the sullen, pentatonic folk music of the ancient Inca tribes, even using native instruments like the armadillo (strings stretched across an armadillo shell). The film was a disaster...
...skinned, short-statured and cheerful people, have been living contentedly for thousands of years as hunter-gatherers subsisting on what nature provides without resort to agriculture. In Man the Hunter (Aldine Publishing Co., $6.95), a recent symposium of studies on primitive societies, Harvard Anthropologists Irven DeVore and Richard B. Lee note that "cultural Man has been on earth for some 2,000,000 years. For over 99% of this period he has lived as a hunter-gatherer. To date, the hunting way of life has been the most successful and persistent adaptation man has ever achieved...
...suggest that present civilization, despite its vast artistic and material advances, is in some ways no real improvement on the past. "It is still an open question whether man will be able to survive the exceedingly complex and unstable ecological conditions he has created for himself," write Lee and DeVore. "If he fails in this task, interplanetary archaeologists of the future will classify our planet as one in which a very long and stable period of small-scale hunting and gathering was followed by an apparently instantaneous efflorescence of technology and society leading rapidly to extinction...
...world's 3,000,000 surviving hunter-gatherers provide any clue, man's distant past probably was more placid and, in some ways, more rewarding than his present. In their hostile environment, the Kalahari Bushmen find enough to eat with less effort than most civilized peoples. Anthropologist Lee estimates that the Bushman's daily diet averages 2,140 calories and 93.1 grams (3.26 oz.) of protein-well in excess of the estimated daily allowance for people of their vigor and size (1,975 calories, 60 grams of protein). The Bushmen have about the same proportion of people...
