Thirty-year-old Victor Taylor has achieved an exceptional academic record, and last week he was granted an M.A. degree in psychology from Southern Illinois University. The subject of his thesis: Anti-Deviant Aggression and Self-Absolution. Two years ago, Taylor earned his B.A. magna cum laude from the same college-completing his degree in a remarkable 21 months (TIME, Oct. 16, 1972).

Appearing unexpectedly on the set, Kaplan and Stadter watched in amazement as two Jeeploads of movieland police...
...carried that bag good this week, I won it all for him," Killer kept saying as the rain poured down still harder, and Victor blithered on in pigeon English, and the fat old schlock-slingers drooled over the very schlock-up-able fact that he was going to give all his prize money (minus a cool $3000 for Killer) to his sixty-year-old grandmother in Chicago. Then two of the schlock-slingers brightened up to who Killer was, and started pumping him with questions. Finally, they got around to asking him his name...
