...Minutes' best moments came neither out of the printed page nor the TV workshop. For its back-of-the-book finale, it showed portions of the Saul Bass documentary Why Man Creates. To probe the provocative title theme, Bass, a master of the film short, stunningly mixed cartoons, bouncing ping-pong balls and interviews with scientists. Produced for Kaiser Aluminum, the film hardly needed a magazine format for its television premi...
...experiment has succeeded beyond the conservationists' highest hopes. Last year, when the first batch had matured, fishermen caught 33,000 cohos; this year the catch will approach 100,000. For the little puddle-bass fisherman, the advent of Pacific Coast salmon has brought a whole new world. Detroit's J. L. Hudson Co. estimates it will do $200,000 in new business this year selling salmon-fishing equipment. And in Manistee, Mich., where the cohos are running this week on their annual spawning run, the town's 16 hotels and motels are booked solid, and a city...

Peter Townshend breaks his guitar against the stage, jumps on it, then splinters it against a speaker cabinet. Crash! John Entwistle heaves his bass away and joins the others in a savage orgy of kicking and pushing at the loudspeakers, the drums and the mike stand...
Fourteen emphysema sufferers took part in Bass's experiment. When they started, some of them found breathing so difficult that all physical activity was an arduous chore. But during the gradual exercise buildup, they all showed improvement. Their hearts now function more efficiently. Work has become easier, and their bodies require less oxygen for a given task, presumably because their lung tissue has been stimulated to greater efficiency. Bass does not recommend his treatment for all of the 400,000 Americans troubled by emphysema, many of whom have other serious disorders. His patients, however, have no such compunctions. Like...
