...long while before listeners accept electronic music with any comfort, at least as part of the standard concert-hall experience. The chief complaint is that there is nothing musical about the production of those unique and sometimes eerie timbres and rhythms that the avant-garde composers draw from oscillators and magnetic tape. Now, however, there is enough evidence to suggest that the electronic composers have at last found the ideal setting for their work. They have formed a partnership with the abstract visual arts, to the point where their sounds at last make musical sense...
There is something special about the mind of a good lawyer-he does not think as others do. He will not accept easy generalizations nor climb quickly to a conclusion. He prefers, like a mountaineer intent upon a peak, to take the more careful, circuitous route so that he can be surer of his ground. He loves the facts, detests disarray and imprecision, and spends his working hours trying to define life within a framework of the law. He is not born this way; it takes a law school to turn the necessary bent of mind. And for thousands...
...Only No. 1. Such changes come slowly. Harvard Law refused to accept women students until 1950. The school is still reluctant to concede that it failed to lead the most recent major movement in the law. Legal realism-the sociological observation that judges make law rather than find it-was nurtured at Columbia and Yale in the '30s. Though Harvard Law Dean Roscoe Pound was a leading sociological scholar, his colleagues did not follow. Griswold ("the Griz"), who has been in the dean's chair since 1946, has made a determined effort to press once again into...
...only the price tags are rising. The cost of such options as push-button radios and tinted glass is up all around. And one sleeper involves changes in warranties. Now, first owners will get warranty protection as before, but second owners will have to accept limited coverage (in the case of Chrysler) or pay an initial $25 inspection fee plus a $25 deductible payment for subsequent warranty work done for full coverage (with Ford and A.M.C.). Third owners are out of luck altogether except with a G.M. car; if it is less than two years old (or has been driven...
...than the delicate balancing act that it practices in world literature. The Swedish Academy hands out the Nobel Prize with a fine impartiality. This year a Frenchman, another time a German. Now a Russian of whom even Stalin could approve, then a Russian who cannot even show up to accept the award. And there are the obscure choices-the Icelandic novelist or the Italian poet, each known to only a handful even in his own country...
