...summer often hit 120°. They live off the arid land, eating grubs and roots and maybe, if they get lucky, an occasional lizard or kangaroo. Last week in Tokyo, Lionel Rose, 19, a leathery young Aborigine from Gippsland, Victoria, put his native toughness and tenacity to good use. By outboxing, outpunching and outpointing Japan's Masahiko ("Fighting") Harada over 15 furious rounds, Rose took away Harada's bantamweight boxing title, and thereby became the first world champion-of anything-his people have ever produced...
Actually, cassette recorders have been in use for several years as dictating tools for executives, actors, doctors and language instructors. Today they are widely used in the music world as well. Conductor Herbert von Karajan saved rehearsal time for last year's Salzburg Festival production of Die Walküre by having the singers study cassettes made from his earlier recording of the opera. Mezzo-Soprano Regina Resnik taped a recording of Adriana Lecouvreur on her cassette and is now using it to learn the role she will sing next season...
...what is really new about cassettes is their use as a vehicle for commercially recorded music. Philips, the giant Netherlands electrical manufacturer that originally developed them, has found a vast and expanding market in European homes. This year alone, the firm will turn out a million players and 9,000,000 cassettes containing 2,000 titles drawn from 90 record labels.

By year's end, more than 1,000 titles will be available...
...that finish the filter? Far from it. Strickman supporters insisted that Magnuson had misinterpreted a Columbia-sponsored test that, in fact, showed the invention to be more effective in eliminating tar and nicotine than the cellulose acetate filters used on the most widely smoked filter cigarettes. Not only are some U.S. cigarette makers continuing to express interest in the filter, but last week both Imperial Tobacco Co. of Canada Ltd. (du Maurier and Player's), and Rothmans of Pall Mall Canada Ltd., negotiated licenses to use the filter. The companies are two of the biggest in Canada, and they...
Such statistics carry an unmistakable message: the place to look for the most creative writing in America today is not in bookshops but in author-publisher contracts, with their imaginative use of the top row of the typewriter keyboard-where the $ and % signs snuggle in compelling proximity. The principal practitioners of this profitable art are literary agents, the canny manipulators of today's flourishing writer's market. Authors and publishers alike agree that it is the agent who deserves the traditional flyleaf salute to the person without whose aid, comfort, understanding, affection, patience, encouragement and hard-eyed business...
