There, photographed in a sober row at the Budapest meeting of the Warsaw Pact members, were the familiar faces of Russia's leaders: Grechko, Kosygin, Brezhnev, Gromyko, Katushev. Katushev? Neither the face nor the name was familiar. Both are likely to become more so, however, as time goes on. Konstantin Katushev is Moscow's new man around town, and his swift ascent to power has surprised even Kremlinologists. A year ago, Katushev, a stern-visaged man with a barrel chest, was an insignificant regional party secretary, one of more than a hundred such factotums scattered throughout Russia. Today...
...himself to writing and promoting the cause. Omarr, 42, a former news editor for CBS radio and the most skillful and sober public protagonist astrology has, is interested in aligning the antique art with the modern disciplines of psychology and space science. Then there is Constella (100 papers), a cheerful, overweight 72-year-old New Englander (Shirley Spencer) who started writing a graphology column for the Daily News in 1935, but switched to the stars nearly 20 years ago.

It stays too long at the graphic garroting; it details too lovingly the good old days when a "hit" (a decreed death) cost a fast 75 bucks. It forgives the criminal because, though he is endemically corrupt, he is thoroughly dramatic...
Flesh and Bone. Such a sober, even cynical analysis of man does not fit well with his image of himself as a civilized and cultured being. Yet within the past decade, this rough vision of man as a relative of the primates one step removed from the jungle has been put forward by a number of behavioral scientists working in such fields as genetics, neurophysiology and primatology. Says Anthropologist Robin Fox of Rutgers, whose specialty is the sexual conduct of man the animal: "We are only beginning to understand the implications of extending to behavior the same kind of analysis...
