...moves and reasons baffled Greeks. The official justification for Zoitakis' dismissal was ludicrous. It was far more likely that he was dumped because he had criticized Papadopoulos for failing to curb Cyprus' Archbishop Makarios (TIME, March 13), and because he had become a magnet for younger officers disillusioned over the ravenous Papadopoulos reach for power. Another reason, insiders whispered, was that Papadopoulos-despite his oath last week-intends to dethrone Constantine completely and cut off the generous allowance that permits the handsome King to live comfortably in Rome. Sooner or later, it is believed, Papadopoulos will...
Despite those misfortunes, Wilson managed to generate a 200 GeV beam before July 1972, the originally scheduled target date. He also stayed within budget even with the expensive magnet repairs (estimated cost: $1,000,000). Was the monumental effort really worth it? Addressing himself to that question at the congressional hearing, Wilson had no doubts. "We can say," he testified, "that we are about to complete a new scientific instrument that will allow us to see much deeper into the atom, that we know there is much yet to be seen and that the new knowledge will help us better...
CAMBRIDGE HAS experienced an erratic history as a magnet for folk and blues musicians. During the heyday of the Sixties' folk revival, Cambridge, New York and San Francisco formed a triangular circuit for itinerant folkies like Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk, and Joan Baez. The old Club 47 on Palmer Street played host to nearly all of the best folk singers, as well as to many bluesmen who are rarely seen today.

...that keeps the editors up-to-date on reader reaction. She has observed two trends in recent years: TIME'S audience has become increasingly concerned with serious issues in the news, and the letters are generally more thoughtful and balanced than in the past. In 1971, the biggest magnet for mail was the trial and conviction of William Galley; the Pentagon papers case and the "Jesus Revolution" cover story ranked second and third. Many readers took a stand on the Galley court-martial outcome, supporting the verdict, 649 to 422. Sentiment concerning the Pentagon papers case was more closely...
...near Market Snodsbury. Who should be there but Madeline Bassett and her new fiancé, the seventh Earl of Sidcup, not to mention the beautiful but bossy Florence Craye, a millionaire businessman called L.P. Runkle, and a bounder by the name of Bingley. Add to that Bertie, a mobile magnet for disaster, and you have literary lunacy of a high order-P.G. Wodehouse in near-perfect form. In no time at all, the Earl of Sidcup has caught Bertie in an innocent but compromising position with his fiancée, Florence has threatened to marry him, and Runkle...
