...Colony (1641), which authorized only fishermen and hunters to cross a private beach. On the New Jersey shore, the snobbish resort of Deal forbids any waterfront property owner or occupant to allow even his own guests to swim from the beach. The rule has rarely been enforced in the past, but when the friends of a wealthy lumber dealer began splashing in the surf at a clambake this summer, the police issued a summons to one guest. He was later fined $200 in court, although the sentence was suspended...
...past, a collector who wished to give his Rembrandt to the Metropolitan could claim its current market value as a tax deduction. Unless the new law is amended before its passage by the Senate, the collector will have the dubious alternatives of a) deducting a work's original cost-rather a wrench if he had the wit to buy it 20 years ago -or b) claiming its current value and paying capital gains tax on the difference between that and its initial cost. Neither alternative is apt to encourage the philanthropic spirit. "Countless treasures that come to us under...
...Manhattan, the Association of Art Museum Directors called an emergency session to mobilize opposition. The Ways and Means Committee inserted the provision chiefly because some donors in the recent past have claimed exaggerated values for run-of-the-mill works. The museum men point out that such abuses have been sharply curtailed since the Internal Revenue Service established an advisory panel of experts 1½ years ago to help assess the fair market value of donated art. In 1968, the panel reviewed 500 donations and disallowed 25% of their claimed $20 million value. So far, not one donor has officially...
...causes ever since: the godlessness of the United Nations, the injustice of forced desegregation and, most recently, the immorality of public-school sex education (TIME, July 25)-an issue that may well be responsible for most of the 25,000 new contributors who have joined the crusade in the past three months. All told, Billy James commands 200,000 contributing followers. He spends an annual budget of $2,000,000 and broadcasts his theologically fundamentalist, politically conservative message over some 100 radio stations. Ever expanding his horizons, he has just broken ground for his own new American College in Tulsa...
...journals, perhaps because the bones upset too many old theories. Their scientific caution is understandable. In a few short years, man's fossil record has been extended from less than 2,000,000 years to possibly more than 14 million. Yet even that startling leap back into the past amounts to only a few moments in the 4.5 billion-year history of the earth. Three billion years before man's ancestors took their separate evolutionary path from the apes, life already existed and flourished. Despite the new paleontological evidence, man remains a mere infant...
