...late Father Vincent Wilkin, S.J., Roman Catholic chaplain at England's University of Liverpool, was agonized by the problem. "There must be a solution somewhere," he wrote, and he left behind him a book, From Limbo to Heaven (Sheed & Ward; $3), in which he tried to puzzle out a solution for the dilemma of the children...
...other medical show, Ben Casey, however, written by James (Medic) Moser and starring Vincent Edwards, is one of the great events in the long, hallowed annals of videosurgery. Neurosurgeon Ben Casey is so bright that his giant brain is already grappling with the most advanced encephalopathological problems of 1975. Meanwhile, he is a first-class, unsutured, 1961-style son of a bitch. Handling several cases an ABC-hour, his kindest words for his fellow physicians are: "What the hell do you use for brains?" Rabid women bite him. But, for all his foaming at the mouth, Casey is a marvelous...

Since then the small town where Van Gogh ended his tortured life and the tiny room where he lived have become historical shrines...
Pilgrims making the journey last week found the presence of Van Gogh evoked by a larger-than-life (10½ ft., 880 Ibs.) bronze statue that is in many ways as strange as the man it commemorates. Staring toward the rolling wheatfield that was the subject of Vincent's last canvas is a figure with peasant hat and deep-set eyes, the severed left ear barely suggested, paintbox and easel slung on his back. The work of Russian-born Sculptor Ossip Zadkine, it stands a few paces from the small walled cemetery where Van Gogh lies buried beside...
