...Question of Honor. Some claims, to be sure, were exaggerated. The fishing captain whose sighting helped in the recovery of the bomb from the sea demanded $5,000,000; he got only medals from two grateful governments. Francisco Alarcon Cano, whose private school was shuttered for six weeks because a bomb fragment landed on his patio, sought $733 in lost tuition. He got nothing. "We may have made a mistake," says a 16th Air Force officer of the schoolmaster's case. "But the door is always open if he wants to come back." The point that escapes the Americans...

His scores are graphic in their detail and precision, but he believes in a certain improvisation or mobility within a performance itself. Therein lies the influence of Calder, whose mobiles are made of 15 to 20 parts moving freely in space and changing their relationships with one another from minute to minute. Pollock...
...respected French biologist, who carries out his parapsychological research under the pseudonym "Andrew Robinson" to avoid professional ridicule, recently claimed that his complicated electronic rigs suggest the possibility of communication between men and mice.
