...year-old Hartford housewife climbing behind the wheel of the same model car for the first time. Drivers will receive premium reductions for each year of accident-free motoring, up to a maximum of five consecutive years. MIC estimates that people under 25 will pay an average of 55% less than they have been paying...
...William Holden still has the body of a 50-year-old. Or even less. Viewers can judge for themselves next fall when they watch Holden in The Earthling, a tale about an Australian bat-around-the-world who finally comes home to die. He stops along the way to take a beefcake bath-or in Holden's case, a sirloin splash-in an Australian stream. He also encounters Child Star Ricky Schroder (The Champ), who at nine has just lost mother and father in an automobile crash. What happens next is tearjerking. It also includes kangaroos and wallabies...
...director of biosocial research at City College in Tacoma, Wash., the sight of the color pink changes the secretion of hormones, thus reducing aggressiveness. A jail commander in San Jose, Calif., who has tested the theory says it works-for a while. Lieut.

In both cases, doctors assumed the fatal attacks had been triggered by blood clots or atherosclerotic plaques clogging the pencil-thin arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to heart muscle. But autopsies showed that the coronary arteries of both victims were...
...ancestors, and I know myself best by my gestures, meanings...not through a study of my family tree." To a great extent he succeeded. Virtually no modernist paintings done before 1945 look like his work, and even the influence of surrealism, a vital catalyst for Pollock and Rothko, is less apparent in Still than anywhere else in abstract expressionism. Instead of going by fits and starts, testing and absorbing other art, Still's career gives the impression of monolithic solidity: he found his style early and stuck to it for more than 30 years. No other artist living today...
