After four weeks, the chickens were tested for sociability by putting them one by one in an apparatus that kept automatic track of how much time they spent near a "stimulus" chicken, separated from them by a partition of wire mesh. The chickens raised in a flock or in pairs showed intense togetherness, spending nearly all their time close to the other chickens. But the chickens raised in isolation fled to the far end of the cage...
...high-tension lines. The lineman does not climb the tower. Instead, he sits in a plastic bucket and is raised to the wire by a truck-mounted boom made of insulating fiber glass. When he reaches the wire, he clamps to it a cable that is connected to metal mesh lining the bucket. This operation sounds suicidal, but it is not. The current moves into the mesh, charging it along with the lineman's body. Nothing more happens. The insulated boom keeps the current from surging to the ground, so the lineman is as safe as a bird...
...following outside their own country; the other artists in the two shows are almost all making their U.S. debuts.

Manuel Rivera, 33, works almost entirely with wire mesh to make spiderweb constructions, which he usually calls Metamorphosis. Manuel Viola, 41, gives a rare kind of pleasure with canvases that seem to have an inner glow of their own. And the imaginative iron sculpture of Eduardo Chillida almost seems to dance...
...Munich, in a tree-shaded compound on the banks of the Isar River. Surrounded by a 10-ft. concrete wall, the compound looks like a housing development, with neat lawns and flower beds, lace-curtained villas and administration buildings. At each entrance are electrically operated sliding doors of steel mesh, with sentry boxes manned by armed and uniformed guards. Gehlen's own headquarters are separately enclosed by a steel fence, and his paneled, second-floor office contains only one symbol of his profession: a box of cigars labeled Geheimdienst (Secret Service). (In Washington, Allen Dulles also keeps...
...regular infield in the majors. Third Baseman Brooks Robinson, 23, has become one of the league's best glove men since he came up three years ago. Shortstop Ron Hansen. 22, Second Baseman Marv Breeding, 26, and First Baseman Jim Gentile, 26, are all rookies, but they already mesh so well that the Orioles lead the majors in double plays...
