Some women, to be sure, sail through menopause experiencing no more than changes in menstrual flow. But as post-menopausal aging continues, skin begins to lose its tone, bosoms their lift and bones their hardness. Fatty deposits may pile up in the arteries and leave a woman vulnerable to heart at tacks. Regular doses of estrogens, says the University of Chicago's Dr. M. Edward Davis, can delay the onset of such changes and diminish their impact. There is even a test-an adaptation of the familiar "Pap smear" for detecting uterine cancer-that indicates how much medication...
Yachtsmen who have sailed aboard Rupert C. Thompson's 40-ft. cutter Dorinda know that, come what may, Thompson is as placid as pool water at the helm. While his tense crew struggled to run down a damaged sail and hoist a new one in the midst of a hot race last year, Thompson looked on with barely a word, leaving his men to perform their work unbothered. That is just the kind of ship that "Rupe" Thompson, 59, runs as chairman of Textron Inc., New England's second largest firm and certainly one of the nation...
...that, however, she found success. As appalled by the dry, flaky skin of Australia's hardy pioneer women as she later was by American complexions, Helena began selling a potion made of almonds and tree bark. The formula made her $100,000 within three years, and she set sail for Europe, where she opened a Mayfair salon. By World War I she was the reigning beauty adviser to British and French society. She decided to move to New York to take up the same role, but there she ran into opposition from Elizabeth Arden, a rival with whom...
Another Ship of Fools, now translated into English, set sail two years before Katherine Anne Porter's symbolically freighted liner made its voyage. Argentine Novelist Julio Cortazar's passengers are lottery winners whose prizes are paid vacations on a cruise ship. But they are hustled on to a strange freighter, destination unknown. Aboard ship, the strangeness continues. An officer announces that for the present the stern of the vessel must be barred to passengers for technical reasons. What reasons? The officer explains to them that two of the ship's company are ill with a rare form...
Instead, only 6½ years after fundraising began, the $12 million museum floats on the tar like a battleship on a 600-ft. by 250-ft. concrete raft. Scraps of canvas make the ship sail. A fortnight ago, the museum's chief art donor, California Entrepreneur Norton Simon, acquired Rembrandt's Titus (TIME, March 26) for a staggering $2,234,400. Eventually it will go to the new museum-the brightest star in a firmament of fine art valued at some $35 million...
