...Pirate Jenny," probably the most beautiful expression of venomous hate ever written. The song is about its singer's dream of killing everyone the knows. Nancy Frangione, the cast's standout as Polly, the latest of Mack the Knife's brides, manages to squeeze out all the song's acid lyricism without imitating Lotts Lenye. The other female leads--especially Deirdre Carson as Jenny Drive--are nearly as good...

With a handful of minor exceptions, De Kooning's paint work manages to avoid the rather flaccid, glutinous and mushy quality it assumed in the middle...
Assuming that antibodies, like most other proteins, are composed of chains of amino acids, Edelman set out to identify the arrangement and composition of the antibody molecules. In 1969, he completed a gamma-globulin model showing the molecule to be made up of 19,996 atoms grouped together in amino-acid building blocks. His findings coincided with those of Porter, showing that the antibody molecule is composed of a double pair of chains, two "light" ones forming the branches of the Y, and two "heavy" ones that make up the trunk. After establishing that antibodies have some flexible amino-acid...
...Center in Los Angeles. They arrested two of its leaders for practicing medicine without a license. Carol Downer, one of the movement's founders, was accused of diagnosing a woman's illness as a vaginal infection and treating it with an application of yogurt (the lactic acid in yogurt is supposed to provide a hostile environment for some organisms; without laboratory tests it is difficult to determine whether the treatment is appropriate). Colleen Wilson was charged with performing a menstrual extraction, or preemptive abortion (TIME, Sept. 11), pelvic examinations and pregnancy tests...
