...passenger waits for his flight in one of the six lounges, lights warn him of his departure: they fade over where he is sitting, and brighten at the loading zone he is supposed to take. (If he is dozing and does not get the hint, the old-fashioned public address system still pours in over him.) Jetliners nose in to the terminal like animals to a trough. To enplane, passengers simply walk along a short, level ramp into the aircraft's nose door. The umbrella roof keeps the weather away...
...Murray, 37, a Scottish-born San Antonio psychiatrist who first aired his findings before the American Psychiatric Association, and then took the unusual step of going to the public with his complaints about the new drug. He was turning to the press, he said, because speed was essential to warn of the danger. The drug he had been using: methaminodia-zepoxide, trade-named Librium, recently marketed with much fanfare by New Jersey's Roche Laboratories (TIME, March 7) and now giving hot competition to meprobamate (Equanil, Miltown).

In fact, it is the youngsters' very "inability to do sustained reading, frustrating the youth at school and cutting off a major avenue of escape from the limits of what is usually a mean and sordid environment, that...
Robert Graves's mother used to warn him against becoming "like people who feed birds in public gardens, and usually have two or three perched on their heads." But Mother scarcely foresaw the strange-feathered notions that would roost inside Graves's head. Out of this intellectual aviary fly de-crested myths, twice-tweaked Bible tales, a poetic cockatoo called the White Goddess, and great whooping cranes of scholarly controversy. As a man who travels "full-speed in the wilder regions of my own, some say crazy, head," Graves ranges airily from poetry to poltergeists, from mushrooms...
