...silk, is believed to be his. Done in metallic blues and greens, it creates a panorama of cloud-shrouded peaks and gorges against which is shown a group of horsemen and camels, led by a red-coated figure that may be Emperor Ming Huang himself. In the foreground, pack asses roll in the grass, while the column winds slowly ahead in a procession that ushers into Chinese art the great theme of the all-engulfing landscape...
Typical is a Memphis sergeant first class named William Kinney, 25, who studied missilery and electronics in Texas for 28 tough weeks, carries the customary carbine and 20-lb. pack, commands 35 men. The 14 specialists in his group who fire the supersonic Corporal are all familiar with one another's jobs, can get their hardware into the air in less than an hour after its delivery to their station, then disperse with their rumbling equipment in well-organized haste, set up again elsewhere for another shot...
...burrowing owl going into a hole and coming out again. Another cameraman was speared by a savage while working along the Amazon. In making a film called Indian Family of Long Ago, E.B.F. experts had to teach the actors, some Sioux from South Dakota, how to put up tepees, pack a travois (a primitive sledge), and shoot bows and arrows.

Just as Confidential's peep-and-tell formula sent a horde of imitators yipping after pay dirt, the sex-fueled three-year flight of Playboy ("Entertainment for Men") has shaken out a pack of wolf-whistling periodicals.

The most successful of the upstarts are monthlies, with such names as Caper, Nugget, Rogue, Escapade and Cabaret. Like Playboy ( TIME, Sept. 24), they trade...
...filter boom is doubly gratifying to manufacturers. Filter cigarettes sell for 2? to 10? a pack more than regulars, but cost less to produce. Chief reason: they use a low-grade, high-nicotine, heavy-bodied tobacco to get the taste through to the smoker. This darker, heavier leaf wholesales for only 42? a Ib. (up from 25? before the big switch to filters), but far less than the 62? a Ib. for the lighter tobacco that goes into regulars. Because of the tobacco difference, the filtered smoke usually carries more nicotine than the average regular, and just about the same...
