What really matters, of course, is the contents of that copy. To this, our readers seemed to respond with gusto. The "Is God Dead?" cover story drew a record-breaking 3,500 letters, and the vast majority answered the rhetorical question in a vigorous negative. We continued our broad coverage of the Vietnamese war, beginning with the Man of the Year cover story on General William Westmoreland. Also memorable, we feel, were our report on the South African situation, which featured Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd on the cover shortly before his assassination; our tour of swinging London; and the introduction...

"The machines process information," says Seawright, 30, an Ole Miss grad who instructs at Manhattan's Electronic Music Center (run by Princeton and Columbia). "Their cells and sensors collect information on light and sound, and they behave accordingly. My aim is to produce...
Band-Room Barbs. There is also a longstanding belief among impresarios that for psychological reasons, audiences do not respond so well to women players, because the "conflict and domination" struggle with an instrument is strictly man's work. When attractive Doriot Dwyer was appointed first flutist of the Boston Symphony 14 years ago, one proper Brahmin sent her a package with a letter demanding that she hide her exposed ankles with the enclosed pair of thick grey stockings. She demurred, and at least one Boston man is glad; since the arrival of the ladies, he has taken to watching...
