...Shrunken bodies littered the streets of Calcutta in 1943. As recently as 1965 and 1966, when the monsoon rains failed, thousands would have died but for the emergency shipment of 10.5 million tons of U.S. wheat, one-fifth of the American crop. India has always seemed to be dismaying proof of the Malthusian thesis that the world's population must inevitably increase at a faster rate than its ability to sustain itself. As recently as two months ago, that specter was evoked by British Novelist C. P. Snow: "We may be moving-perhaps in ten years-into large-scale...
Meanwhile, his 18-year marriage to Dancer Carolyn Brown of the Merce Cunningham company seems to be enough proof of his conviction that "art is the fruit of human relationship." And vice versa.

As yet, he has found no proof. Last summer, the first premonitions lab in the U.S. was opened at Brooklyn's Maimonides Medical Center. So far, the lab has been unable to make a scientific case for the power of premonitions to foretell the future. In Seattle, the Boeing Co. for a time backed...
...Paul. Benelli meets twice a week with the current editor in chief, Raimondo Manzini, 67, to plan articles for the paper, and consults the Pope on major points of editorial policy. Paul himself maintains a close personal relationship with L'Osservatore. He occasionally telephones Manzini, and sometimes reads proof on exceptionally important stories. When doing so, the Pope makes corrections in red ink and adds his personal comments, also in red ink, in the margins...
