Last week Welch, 66, solemnly advised an audience in Salt Lake City that the U.S. involvement in Viet Nam is nothing less than a diabolic Communist plot-using the old Brer Rabbit reverse psychology-to speed up Government regimentation and to push the country into "socialism and totalitarianism." The policies of the Johnson Administration, he said, are "close to insanity," amount to "sheer insanity," "approach insanity," "border on insanity," and are "nothing less than insanity." They are, in addition, he said, "dangerously insane." Welch titled his speech "A Touch of Sanity...
...hearings before the Senate Commerce Committee, New York's Senator Robert F. Kennedy echoed earlier pleas that the Administration strengthen its pending safety legislation and push up the deadline by which manufacturers would have to meet safety standards from the 1970 to the 1968 models. A persistent critic of Detroit's safety record, Kennedy pointed out that astronauts and test pilots undergo much greater shocks than do people in many auto accidents-and survive. He asked the Government to force automakers to do something about protecting passengers from the "second collision" when they slam into...
...halos, the figures in this youthful Madonna, despite their hierarchic gestures, are close kin to flesh and blood. Subtly but simply, the artist has divided his composition in two: at right, the blue haze dissolves into atmospheric depth; while at left, the leafy, lemon-bearing latticework seems to push the Madonna's arm forward.

At issue in the Ginzburg case were Eros, whose chef-d'oeuvre in the disputed edition was a color portfolio of a white woman and Negro man, both naked, in multiple embraces; Liaison, a sex-front "newsletter" that was a compendium of sex jokes; and The Housewife's Handbook on Selective Promiscuity, a Tucson woman's clinical account of her increased pleasure with unconventional...
...thruster to begin firing intermittently. The Agena's thrusters-weaker than Gemini's-had been firing automatically in a futile attempt to stabilize the two orbiting spacecraft. Once cut loose from the Agena's stabilizing thrusters, the Gemini immediately increased its roll rate under the continuing push of No. 8, which now had even more effect because it was no longer turning the combined mass of the two ships, only the Gemini itself...
