...West Bank of the Jordan River, 13 miles northeast of Tel Aviv. During the Six-Day War, Israeli soldiers overran Kalkilya, destroying half the town and uprooting many of its lush, productive citrus groves. With help from Israel's government, the town has since been largely rebuilt, but it remains under what its inhabitants regard as enemy rule. TIME Jerusalem Bureau Chief William Marmon recently visited Kalkilya and sent this report...
Recent and anticipated technical advancements have whisked us to the threshold of an era of rebuilt humans, of makeshift immortality. Transplants and artificial organs may distort distinctions between man and his fellow man, and man and machine. Suspended animation may create real-life Rip van Winkles. Doctors have already agonized over choices of who to let live.

...hours after the race, Petty's car was back at Level Cross, where it was stripped down while another identical model was being totally rebuilt for this week's Rebel 500 at Darlington, S.C.

...pessimistic prophecies are widely disputed. Many scientists, in fact, see very drastic changes on the horizon.

Paradigms is the word he uses for those overreaching models and theories according to which each new era of science conducts its normal, day-to-day operations. Copernicus, for example, established a new paradigm of science with his heliocentric universe, overthrowing the old. Newton did likewise...
...colorful night marked Callas' debut as a stage director and the inauguration of Europe's newest opera house, Turin's opulent Teatro Regio, which has been rebuilt at a cost of $13 million to replace the original two-century-old theater that was destroyed by fire 37 years ago. Still, no one doubted that it was La Callas, not il teatro, who was the true star of the occasion. The dazzling opening-night audience included luminaries like President Giovanni Leone, but it was "Mar-i-a!" that the crowd shouted...
