...hold it on when he runs. At last, relief is in sight. The U.S. Army Research and Development Command at Natick, Mass., is field-testing a new design. Made of a high-strength organic fiber, it features a flattened top and "skirts" that come down over the ears and nape of the neck; it looks unnervingly like the German model of World War II, but offers 30% more protection against shrapnel than the old Ml. The weight is about the same but it comes in three sizes, and soldiers who have tested it say it feels lighter, mainly because...
...dreams. When Tristana climbs the bell-tower, with the deaf boy behind and looking up her skirt, she comes upon the bloodied, severed head of the gentleman, swinging crazily from the church bell. And the vision delicately propels--we go on, as viewers never picked up running by the nape of the neck to churn legs wildly in the air. Shot in 1970, in color, to my mind Bunuel's greatest film...
...blonde hair pulled straight back into a bun at the nape of her neck, Maureen Dean, 28, became familiar to millions of TV viewers as she sat stage right of husband John Dean III at the Senate Watergate hearings.

...Traditionally the U.S. surgeon is a fellow of undramatic tonsorial tastes; his close-cropped hair and minimal dandruff can be readily confined under a surgeon's cap of modest proportions. Not so the younger surgeon of today, with wavy locks down to the nape and perhaps a mustache and beard as well. Infection following surgery remains a problem, says Ludmila Davis, director of Stanford University Hospital's operating rooms, and hair is a natural breeding ground for bacteria. So Mrs. Davis and colleagues have designed a "Lawrence of Arabia helmet" to cover not only the Samson hair...
...thoughts raced back to the time when my Secret Police interrogator told me: "We don't have any reason to dig your grave here in the German Democratic Republic." He walked behind me and ran his finger dagger-style along the nape of my neck--"unless you force us to," he added. So maybe this was it. It looked as though the Secret Police was going all the way; so all the carefully devised plans Jack and I had made seemed to be headed towards death. We had only planned bread and water strikes (alarm stage one), unless put into...
