...interested in everything, from the nap of a rabbit's fur or the extra legs on a mutant pig to the theory of human proportion. His graphic work was a sustained paean to the diversity of the world. There was often an edge of apocalyptic menace in the way he perceived it. He wrote a treatise on proportion, but he was shaken by portents, frightened by monsters and preyed on by nightmares?all of which he described and to some degree exorcised by drawing them. But his curiosity remained insatiable, and it drove him to constant journeying...
...Ominous Mutant. Worsthorne's brutal language is plainly exaggerated, but he has properly pointed to an ominous new mutant of the American tragedy in Viet Nam. The most melancholy statistics to come out of the war are, of course, the casualty figures of dead and wounded. Yet there is another, subtler casualty list that will haunt American society even after the last G.I. has left Viet Nam-the troops who became addicted to heroin while serving in Southeast Asia. The number is staggering: between 10% and 15% of U.S. troops in Viet Nam have developed a heroin habit. That...
...lovers, Mary Ennis and Michael Gury were appropriately love-struck. As Caliban, George Sheanshang spent most of the evening crouched on all fours-no easy trick, I would suspect-while also managing to inject a certain amount of pathos in his position as the dumb mutant whose momentary aspirations only serve to force him lower to the earth.

And who is recording it but Viva, underground superstar of such Andy Warhol hand-held flicks as Blue Movie and Bike Boy, and brand-new author of a rather autobiographical and hilariously funny novel called Superstar. Mrs. Michel Auder in relatively real life, Viva combines the best features of a beautiful woman, a four-year-old child and a man from Mars, and is about to try a new role: motherhood...
...soot from the burning coal and wood of the Industrial Revolution began to blacken the bark of England's trees, the predominant variety of peppered moth had light-colored, speckled wings that blended perfectly with lichen-covered tree bark and camouflaged the insects against predatory birds. A mutant form of the moth, with black wings, was easily spotted against the light-colored tree bark, picked off and eaten. The surviving black moths were so rare, in fact, that the first one was not captured until...
