...subject (notably The Deep Self), it took California's meditation industry almost two decades to latch onto his discovery. The pioneers of Pop immersion were Glenn and Lee Perry, a Los Angeles couple who started mass-producing tanks for home dunking five years ago and have sold tanks at prices ranging from $1,200 to $2,500. Last June they opened the Samadhi (Sanskrit for state of deep contemplation) Tank Center in Beverly Hills, where they have attracted 3,500 customers. Meanwhile, two-year-old Denver-based Float To Relax Inc., which also manufactures and distributes isolation tanks...
Tensions in Beirut rose at week's end when a parked automobile exploded near the passing car of Bashir Gemayel, military commander of the Christian Phalangists. Gemayel was not in his car; but the blast, apparently the work of a rival Christian faction, killed his two-year-old daughter and seven others...
...million Amoco settlement is by far the biggest in the two-year-old Government investigation of oil-company pricing. Last December, Getty signed a $75 million consent decree; in the preceding 22 months, settlements with a number of companies, including Kerr-McGee, Cities Service, Gulf, Mobil and Phillips, totaled less than $690 million.

In the criminal case now being tried, Ford may be fined a maximum of only $30,000 if it is found guilty under the two-year-old Indiana law allowing corporations to be charged with reckless homicide. No jail sentences are threatened because no individual was accused. Yet a guilty verdict could affect the 23 pending civil suits. It could also trigger a rash of criminal charges against other companies involved in product-safety disputes...
Dimly lit, tunnel-like passageways provide a transition between the bright public areas and the theaters and their mysteries. The only real weakness in the Bonfils design is that it bears no relationship at all to its two-year-old neighbor, the brick-walled Boettcher Concert Hall, designed by Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates for the Denver Symphony. Both buildings are admirable but in disquietingly different ways. It is unfortunate that the same architect was not assigned to both. The disunity may be less noticeable, however, when the 76-ft.-high glass Galleria, which now leads to both entrances, is extended...
