...about London with Japanese-born avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, 34. "I love Yoko," said John. Yet there's a hang-up-she's still hitched to U.S. Film Director Anthony Cox. Small matter. "I don't think that marriage is the end product of love," explained John...
...classic example of underestimation," says Martin Gainsbrugh, chief economist for the National Industrial Conference Board, "is the Trillion-Dollar Economy." In terms of gross national product, the U.S. was not expected to reach this thousand-billion-dollar mark until about 1975. It now appears that the figure will be achieved either in 1970 or 1971.

It is therefore ironic that the computer industry itself vastly underestimated the demands for its products (44,400 computers are at work today, v. a 1954 estimate that 50 would be).

Now, with the advent of the pill, economists may find it more difficult to plot future family formations accurately until a new pattern is established.

Three planets were nominated as possible havens for such life. Nobel Chemistry Laureate Willard F. Libby speculated that oxygen detected on Venus by a Soviet space probe last October may well be the product of plant photosynthesis. Jupiter, said NASA Chemist Cyril Ponnamperuma, has an atmosphere similar to that which enveloped the earth during its first 100 million years; the swirling Jovian gases, he added, may already have combined into basic life-building molecules. But the strongest argument was made on behalf of Mars. Despite its freezing temperatures and apparent lack of oxygen, explained NASA Microbiologist Harold P. Klein, life...
