...magazine can be considered the personal property of a single man, the Saturday Review is Norman Cousins' baby. It reflects his own grab-bag curiosity: a mix of books, music, travel, science, education and communications. Cousins became the Review's editor 31 years ago, and later its owner. Ten years ago he sold it to the McCall Corp. but kept total editorial control. Recently, however, Editor Cousins, 56, found himself caught in a game of conglomerate Ping Pong, agonizing over where the Review (circ. 650,000) would wind up and whether he could continue...
When jazz began, America had little music to call its own. There were ballads, popular and folk songs, and some symphonic music by American-born but European-oriented composers. Bubbling in the New Orleans melting pot, however, was a disreputable mix of African, Spanish, French and Protestant revivalist musical influences that would mature into a uniquely American idiom. Black music had wandered away from its African grandparents, picked up a few hymn tunes, worked in fields and on railroads, and been sung to make slavery endurable.

Golf has always had its share of distinctive, larger-than-life personalities: Terrible Tommy Bolt, the late Champagne Tony Lema, Daiquiri Doug Sanders.

Lee's Fleas delight in his wisecracks (Flea: "Nice shot!" Lee: "What did you expect from the U.S. Open champion?ground balls?"). They love...
...been running only 11% full, offered a $220 round trip to Belgium for almost anyone under 30, other lines have rushed to meet or beat that bargain. A youth-fare passenger on Sabena can fly only to and from Brussels, but on some other lines he can now mix and match. Pan Am. for example, allows a person of 25 or less to fly to one European city and return from another. Irish-Aer Lingus offers the widest choice of all -four different cities. The deal: fly into one Continental city, return from another, and stop over in Dublin...
Horse Annie Law, for instance, leaves enforcement to local communities, where the leading citizens often are ranchers. As a result, the hunting down of wild horses continues. Some brazen mustangers even let their branded horses mix with wild horses, then capture the entire bunch. If investigators discover wild horses in the herd, the mustanger explains that he was only trying to recover his stock...
