Neat Bundle. Hurwich remains more than willing to look at new inventions, which have paid off so handsomely for him in the past. He recently gave financial backing to Product Specialists of Santa Monica, Calif., the developers of a 35-to 55-lb. boat made of polypropylene.

The preposterousness of the situation dissolves when brother and sister are reconciled in a scene that conveys forcefully the author's tragicomic sense of life. Even Dr. Braun, the scientist, is "bitterly moved" by the "crude circus...
