...Well, let's have-like a class." said Duskin one recent afternoon. Subject: materialism. In ambled Emerson's 13 summer students-mussed boys in need of haircuts (one beard), and ethereal girls in need of bras. Their wan look might have been due to their frugal lunch: beef broth, casaba melon. Duskin snapped them awake: "I don't allow irrelevant statements. Your comments must either advance my thought or contradict it." Firmly in control, Duskin hammered his theme-the dispassion of Homer. "Remember," he said, "Helen makes it in the end.

Peering around at a Times Square depopulated by the nationwide civil defense alert last week (see cut), New York's Mayor Robert Wagner appeared wan and haggard. Wagner recently underwent an operation for a nonmalignant tumor, but his troubled look could have had another cause. With his political future-and a possible third term-already clouded over by a canyon-sized Democratic split between Tammany Hall and Manhattan reformers, Wagner was grimly aware that Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller's State Investigation Commission was pawing over his old friendship with George Sanders, owner of a sightseeing ship line that...
