A WORLD BEYOND

Ruth, this is Art."" Just as clearly as if he were speaking in the next room, Ruth has had matutinal automatic writing sessions with the great man, Arthur Ford, who ""passed on"" earlier this year and who, right afterwards, spirited her to her typewriter to tell her that he was ""on top of the world."" And why not since either way you look at it everything is going along nicely tip there: Jack Kennedy is still working toward the settlement of Arab-Israeli difficulties; Bobby's busy with civil rights; Karl Marx doesn't like Stalin but the Fitzgeralds really love each other even if they still ""squabble."" There are a few larger salvific truths about love (a still more perfect union -- everyone ""melds"") and study and work and homosexuality (they're that way because they can't decide whether to return as men or women) but mostly you'll want to know about all those nice people -- Marilyn Monroe is slowly coming to and George Washington just died on his umpteenth time around in Vietnam. The World Beyond -- it's the living end.
