...which points up the essential vulnerability of international transportation. A third point of similarity is that Communist and other totalitarian nations seem most ready to flout established diplomatic legitimacy (there are exceptions), doubtless because such regimes are freer to act without taking public opinion into account. Certainly the arbitrary use of raw power to achieve national goals is characteristic of these governments, and physical violence is an integral part of the new undiplomacy...
...quite frequently get them. The basic distinction between yesterday's hysterical fans and today's groupies is that the groupies-also known as "rock geishas"-usually manage to fulfill their erotic fantasies. Says Anna (few groupies use last names, perhaps out of kindness to their families), a pretty, 25-year-old San Franciscan: "A girl is a groupie only if she has numerous relationships. A groupie will maybe sleep with three people all in one night from one group-from the equipment man to whoever is the most important...
Memorial's medical director, Dr. Edward Beattie, called on New York Hospital's surgeon-in-chief, Dr. C. Walton Lillehei, to send for the organs that his staff could use. While the body was perfused with oxygenated blood to ward off tissue degeneration, Lillehei's assistants removed the eyes for fresh-cornea transplants, both kidneys and the heart, and rushed them by underground tunnels to waiting surgery teams. Within a few hours, the Lillehei group had transplanted the heart (into a 36-year-old man), both kidneys and one cornea-the second cornea a day later...
Series of Leaks. Late in the week a Navy investigation revealed that "one of the diving rigs in use by Sealab divers was equipped with an empty Bar-alyme canister."

"This could explain the tragic event," said a Navy spokesman, and indeed, an autopsy revealed "a greatly excessive" amount of carbon dioxide in Cannon's blood. Navy officials ordered a halt to all diving. Sealab 3, still leaking helium, was brought to the surface and lifted...
...Precise Words. John Clem Clarke, 31, manages to unnerve some viewers all by himself. He paints what, at first glance, looks perilously like clumsy reproductions of valuable old masters. On second glance, the suspicious would-be buyer sees that Clarke has deliberately differentiated his "reproduction" from the originals by using a stylized process that reduces their complex color schemes to a few relatively simple components. "I liken the process," he says, "to sending a telegram wherein you use the fewest, most precise words for the meaning of the message...
