Furor & Fantasy. The ten slender, melancholy men and women who tower above display drums in the British pavilion draw awed reactions such as "magnificent." The gay ceramic figures created by Pravoslav and Jindriska Rada for the roof garden of the Czech pavilion are favored companions for souvenir snapshots. The liveliest furor has been stirred up by the "Fantasy Garden" atop the French pavilion, which features Niki de Saint-Phalle's bouncy papier-machelike manikins engaged in combat with the machines of Jean Tinguely. "Fiendish!" sniff elderly English matrons. "Great, wild, erotic!" says a Montreal college-student Expo guide...

But why not? Deanne is a licensed pilot, a crack skier (she barely missed the 1960 Olympic team) and a pretty sharp lawyer, having won all ten of her cases so far for the Legal Aid Bureau, which represents indigents in civil cases involving less than...
...regiments that Glide Brown's patrol helped to locate; and Captain Wallace Johnson, 27, a former Oklahoma University fullback who now wears the Green Beret of the Special Forces and bosses a pacification program in Viet Nam. They include Negro women like 1st Lieut. Dorothy Harris, 27, a slender, sloe-eyed nurse who was pinned down by a mortar barrage a month after she arrived in Cu Chi last January. Nurse Harris spends much of her time beyond the Cu Chi perimeter, treating disease and malnutrition among the Vietnamese civilians, who often touch her brown skin and cry: "Same...
