Such talk does not up set the slender (5 ft. 4 in., 99 lbs.) Maneka. Says she: "In India, women get into politics because of some man. I learned a lot from Sanjay." When TIME New Delhi Bureau Chief Dean Brelis asked her last week what she had learned from her mother-in-law, Maneka shot back, "What not to do." Maneka reports having her telephone tapped, her mail opened and her followers harassed. Says Maneka of the Prime Minister: "She treats India like her personal toy, pulling off its arms and its legs. As her party grows weaker...
...small army. Her luggage alone is staggering: half a dozen stout leather trunks, hat-and shoeboxes, two queen-size 6-ft. wardrobes for ball gowns. No spifty designer luggage for Her Majesty, but a motley array of well-worn pieces, some of them hand-me-downs like the slender parasol case inherited from her grandmother Queen Mary. An intricate system of labeling and cross-referencing keeps her voluminous wardrobe and matching accessories in order. The system is managed by her two dressers, provided with ironing boards, who stay busy pressing clothes to keep the royal raiment wrinkle-free...
...doubt wondering why my voice seems so tinny and my head is smaller than a peanut. That is because you have tuned in on the new Sony Watchman, the slender, hand-held TV set no larger than a walkie-talkie.

The prototype will have a more immediate application as a computer accessory than as a home TV screen. But one slender advantage is already possible: the Siemens screen can be folded up for storage or transport...
...Welliver is, in part, his assertion of "abstract" readings within a very forthright and apparently realistic transcription of raw nature. Typically, his spaces are shallow and entangled. You are on the forest floor, in a cavern of green and gray, gazing at an almost impenetrable screen of slender tree-trunks, fallen branches, brush, lichens and rocks. There is no horizon line to offer visual release: just more forest, dappled and blotched with light. The surface is not oppressively congested-for at his best, in paintings like Late Light, 1978, or Shadow, 1977, Welliver has a gift for surrounding every shape...
