...music as black as possible. This imitation of black music runs along a continuum beginning with the Beatles at one end, the Rolling Stones toward the middle and Eric Burdon and Elvis Presley at the furthest extreme. No white musician, however, has been as successful in this pursuit as albino bluesman Edgar Winter, for Winter has done what all the imitators have longed to do--he has played at the Apollo Theater in New York, the Mecca of the black music world...

...Lucky, Pozzo's bearer, presents a special problem. Sheanshang acts intensely and well, is properly demented, and has bestowed on his character just the right Marat/Sade touch. Yet because his buckskni leggings, his moccasins, his headband, his pigtails, and his blond fright wg make him look like an albino Apache, the spectre of Lucky-as-oppressed-Red-Man is aggressively and offensively present on stage. As an additional ethnic touch. Godot's angelic messenger is portrayed as a Mexican-American, whose appearances are accompanied by throbbing rascados on the Desi Arnez classical guitar...

...plotless a pastiche, the population matters less than the imagination that propels it. That quality the film has in superabundance. Fellini's style is less theatrical than amphitheatrical. Colossal grotesques leap from private fantasy to public mind. In a set daubed with indelible cerulean and blood red, an albino hermaphrodite possessed of occult powers is abducted-only to wither pitifully in the desert. A quadruple amputee somehow manages a deep...

...fleshy pads beneath the feet of the common house mouse and its albino kin in the laboratory are so tiny that it takes a highly imaginative researcher to suggest how they might be useful in the control of human leprosy. Dr. Charles C. Shepard had that kind of imagination. He knew that countless other investigators had failed to persuade Hansen's bacillus, the microbe that causes leprosy, to grow in lab animals-a vital step in virtually all infectious-disease research. At the National Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta, Shepard reasoned that perhaps the bacilli needed a cool environment...
