...relations variously described as open, honest, uninhibited, and authentic (i.e., "real"), signifying a highly personal style of communication and a downgrading of everything that is formal and conventional. A common symptom of this value is the almost universal use of first names even when there are wide gaps of age and status...
...people to the Promised Land, so Levi Eshkol made a credible Joshua as Ben-Gurion's successor in the premiership of Israel. Chosen in 1963 for what many believed to be a transitional tenure, Eshkol presided over the defeat of Israel's enemies and its coming of age as an industrial state. When he died last week at 73, he left behind a government more unified than at any time in Israel's 21-year history, and one that rules over a territory three times as large as he inherited...
...inexorable accumulation of poisons in dozens of industries. Almost singlehanded, Dr. Alice drew state and federal attention to the horrors, aroused public indignation and campaigned across the nation until-finally-a body of laws was passed to protect workers. Last week the good doctor, now grown fragile with age, observed her 100th birthday amid family and friends at her home in Hadlyme, Conn.

If that is true, she shares the credit...
From the day he was born in Brooklyn Heights, N.Y., there was little doubt that Paul would be involved in new and unfamiliar art. His father, Poet Louis Zukofsky, saw to that. Paul started on the violin at age four. After a year of study with Ivan Galamian (TIME, Dec. 6), Paul made his professional debut at eight with the New Haven Symphony. Meanwhile, his parents had stopped sending their prodigy to school after the first grade, partly because they felt they could do a better job tutoring him themselves. They did. At 13, Paul won a New York City...
What a scientist does outside his laboratory is as absorbing to the global villagers of this electronic age as the personal foibles of the parish priest were to parochial villagers of an earlier time. Thus the biography of J.B.S. Haldane, British geneticist, biochemist, politician and honored boffin,* is doubly interesting. As one of the last great Victorian eccentrics, Haldane carried the belligerent confidence of that era into the conformist corridors of the mid-20th century. As an aristocrat turned Communist, he was a classic caricature of the greathearted scientist who, as social pundit, squanders the fame acquired in one field...
