...first major corporation to raise that specter was Union Carbide, which threatened last fall to lay off 625 employees at its plant in Marietta, Ohio, in order to meet air-emission standards. The company has since reversed its decision, but several other marginal plants, including three West Coast sulfite pulp mills owned by Crown-Zellerbach, have been closed down. A group of District 50 Allied and Technical Union members sent Muskie a list of 50 companies whose employment is expected to be cut because of pollution controls. Ralph Nader, who testified at the hearing, introduced an ominous new term...
...makes it a peculiar supermarket indeed. Who can resist Joe D'Alasandro, his phallus wrapped up in a St. Laurent scarf like an obscene Christmas present for Isadora Duncan? Who can pass up Candy Darling, a transvestite with rubykeeler red lips and a feather boa, reading '40's Hollywood pulp sags aloud to prove she couldn't care less about Joe's ongoing blow job? Who could miss a Warhol lampoon of Blow-Up, with Joe cast as Verushka...
Died. Major George Fielding Eliot, 76, military analyst; in Torrington, Conn. Eliot, who served as a reserve Army intelligence officer between 1922 and 1930, turned from writing war stories for pulp magazines to serious military commentary in 1928, subsequently publishing 15 books on military and international affairs.

Many of its pages-and most of its covers-are given over to the kind of National Enquirer treatments that even in the supposedly anything-goes world of the counter-culture are still meant to be looked upon as something slightly shocking. To be sure, lots of it is played for laughs-like features on 1915 male nudes and turn-of-the-century obscene valentines-but then even prurience can be masked by a smile. Certainly the December cover story on tattoos-including understandably little-known facts...
...itinerant shipping agent, and she spent her childhood in Japanese and Philippine hotels. To her, hair-raising suspense stories suggest home and hearth because that was usually all her mother could find to read aloud at bedtime. She has written everything: stories for Sunday-school papers and pulp magazines, juvenile and teen-age books as well as novels. She hates housework and has no hobbies, preferring to sit at the typewriter all day writing fiction or dealing with a huge correspondence. Outside, her husband, a retired businessman, cuts trails through their 100 acres of western New Jersey woodland...
