Clearly, the escalating number of train wrecks across the country is not caused by mere happenstance. Clacking over dilapidated roadbeds at ever higher speeds, the railroads are carrying heavier and more dangerous loads...
...been warning people about for months," says Chairman Joseph O'Connell of the National Transportation Safety Board (TIME, May 10). The tiny agency (250 staffers), which has no enforcement power, has been trying to get railroads to adopt long-overdue safety measures. Derailments are the leading cause of train accidents, which increased by 71% between 1961 and 1968.

THERE is a train track in the history of art that goes way back to Mesopotamia," Willem de Kooning once noted, with an artist's lordly disregard for details of engineering. "Duchamp is on it.

...prepare Allen's daily radio broadcasts (58 stations) and weekly television programs (43 stations). There is a record company (47 albums of sermons and gospel music), an airstrip (Cessna 150 at the ready), and a barnlike, 3,000-capacity church to hold the faithful who come by train, plane, bus and auto to attend each of Allen's twice-yearly, 17-day camp meetings.

Ferdinand Fields, an Episcopal rector partial to horror flicks, is decapitated in the men's room of a Long Island railroad train by a Peruvian sun priestess turned tramp. Whittaker Duchamp, bogus play producer, is more fortunate: he only loses an ear. The bloody trail is also strewn with a vengeful rabbi, scheming and pathetic women, a semi-transvestite, and other odd characters who are for the most part linked...
