...such implications for the future of America as now. Last month more than 70 TIME correspondents, writers, reporter-researchers and editors set out to assess the South as it is today, to evaluate its present state-and its stimulating future. Working under the direction of Assistant Managing Editor Ray Cave, Washington News Editor Edward Jackson (a native of Mount Airy, N.C.) and James Bell, chief of the Atlanta bureau, they examined Southern politics, culture, business and society...
...RESTLESS RAY. As Ray Banner sees it, there are two reasons for his success: he started with nothing, and he is short. A thin, brown-haired version of Mickey Rooney, he could not do much about his stature (5 ft. 6 in.). But at 51, Banner has parlayed fast-food franchises into a personal fortune of $25 million. From his headquarters in Nashville, Tenn., he runs 231 Shoney's Big Boy outlets in eleven states. He also owns the 19 Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises for central Kentucky and is starting new chains of his own. Most promising: Captain...

...swathing all manner of objects-chairs, trees, cars, women, motorcycles and, in 1968 at "Documenta" in Kassel, West Germany, a 280-ft. column of air-with rope, canvas and sheet plastic. If this all amounted to little more than a series of energetic variations on Man Ray's 1920 Enigma of Isidore Ducasse (a sewing machine wrapped and tied in sackcloth and rope), it gave Christo the base for more grandiose and original schemes. In 1969 he went to Australia and used 1 million sq. ft. of synthetic cloth to wrap a mile of rocky coastline...
