...seems the Supreme Court has made a mammoth effort to please everybody on either side of the Bakke case. To a large extent they have succeeded: admissions offices are pleased that they may continue to take race into account, groups like the American Jewish Congress are happy the Court declared the use of quotas unconstitutional in admissions, and Bakke himself is satisfied at being legally vindicated...
...details of street festivals and bathhouses on the largest "official" scale known to Japanese art -the byōbu, or folding screens, closely detailed and richly ornamented with gold leaf, which decorated the houses of the rich in Kyoto and Edo. These genre pictures give the most complete visual account of everyday life in old Japan that has come down to us, and a delightful selection of them (drawn from the Suntory Museum of Art in Tokyo) is on view at New York's Japan Society through July...
...mouse cells apparently produce some yet unidentified factor that supports the growth of certain human cancer cells.) According to Salmon, the cancer cells that thrive and form colonies in the laboratory's plastic petri dishes appear to be the tumor's "clonogenic," or "stem," cells. Though they account for less than 1% of all the cells in a tumor, these cells are thought to be the cancer's key replicating units; they divide and migrate, "seeding" new cancers in the body in a process called metastasis...

Considering the competition, then, Jimmy Breslin and Dick Schaap have not committed any grievous sins in writing .44, a novelized account of Berkowitz's 14-month killing spree. But they haven't done much of a service, either: the book reads more like a dime-store cheapie than a presumably classy $10 hardback, and what goes between those hard covers is enough to make you yearn for the good old days, when the Papal Index kept the trash in the barrels and out of the bookstores. Breslin and Schaap offer little more than a Dragnet-style, names-have-been-changed...
