The lyrics produced by Minnie Riperton, 26, are a bit less worldly. Her songs about personal motivation, spiced with a soupçon of I'm O.K.-You're O.K. philosophy, are deliciously upbeat. Few miss the message, since several years of operatic vocal training have given her a five-octave range...

"I wish you hadn't said that," Nixon...
...continues to do so, ensconced in the enormous white studio his friend and fellow Catalan, the architect José Luis Sert, built for him on the island of Mallorca in 1956. Mird lives near by, among his peas, vines and carobs, in a house cluttered by found objects and rustic earthenware. He has been married to the same wife, Pilar Juncosa, since 1929; and in his manner of life and patterns of work (up at 6:30 a.m. to paint, never a day without a line) he is the epitome of industrious respectability...
