...decades now, dealers in early American folk art have been ransacking barns and attics, dragging back to the cities truckloads of their quarry: samplers and fracturs, whirligigs and tavern signs, painted chests, quilts, scrimshaw, wooden Indians and running-horse weather vanes peppered with goose bumps from 50 years of target practice by farm boys. It is an industry with scholarly spinoffs...
...Miles. And the rest, as they say, is history. The six ensembles that have resulted from Miles's own experiments form a mini-spectrum making up one end of a larger spectrum of all jazz. At the rock end of the small one lies The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Zawinul's Weather Report, from what little I've heard, seems a bit ethereal. Herbie Hancock's music is similar to what Miles himself is doing now. And Tony Williams's old Lifetime added a harsh virtuosity that set it apart from McLaughlin's more lyrical intensity, while retaining the solid rhythm section...
...Mills offered an intriguing inducement: he said he would support legislation to assure Nixon's immunity from federal prosecution if he leaves office. Even the House Republican leader, Arizona's John Rhodes, predicted that the Judiciary Committee will vote to impeach.

One has the feeling of approaching the final denouement in this drama." He also thought the mystery of the erasure...
Properly programmed, the computer can plot the trajectory of a rocket, keep track of a store's inventory, correlate census data and help predict weather more accurately. But can it be trusted to make the kinds of life-and-death decisions that doctors do? The answer may be yes, according to a team of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston. The researchers report in the American Journal of Medicine that they have taught a computer to exercise virtually the same clinical judgment that a physician must use in choosing a form...
...remedy may be to require passengers to pay for tickets up to four weeks in advance and then charge penalties of $25 to $100 to passengers who miss their flights. United's Carlson opposes a tough no-show policy. "A customer really can be caught unavoidably by weather or lose a taxi," Carlson says. "Then he's facing a fine, and then come problems and antagonism." Delta and North Central managements share his view. The regulation, however, would not work only one way: for the airline that denies boarding to a passenger with a reservation, the fine would...
