Though a satirist, Emett is a gentle one, with a high regard for human fallibilities and amenities, as well as for cats, birds, butterflies and flowers. What makes the Sussex Merlin all the more remarkable is that he can use a welding torch and glue.

This owlish comedy is a blackface up side-down version of Merlin's routine in T.H. White's The Once and Future King.

...nondogmatic" regimen by Yogi Shri T.R. Khanna Ho, who arrived in Boston from the Himalayas 15 years ago. Author and teacher, he also maintains an ashram, or yoga retreat, in Newton, Mass., which lists as permanent residents some 20 devotees ranging from salesmen to scientists. An internationally known yoga Merlin is Californian Richard Hittleman, 47, whose expertly produced Yoga for Health TV series is shown in a dozen foreign countries, and last week made its debut-twice daily each weekday-on Manhattan's Channel...
