INTERNATIONAL PIANO FESTIVAL (Everest) provides an opportunity for piano lovers to hear and compare the styles of several virtuosos-Arrau, Backhaus, Brailowsky, Casadesus, Janis and Kempff-in a single benefit concert for the U.N. Commission for World Refugees. The program hitches together the warhorses of the piano repertory, but they are played with freshness and excitement. Standouts are Wilhelm Backhaus' definitive "Moonlight" Sonata, Byron Janis' unabashedly grand performance of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6, and Wilhelm Kempff's crystalline playing of Schubert's Impromptu in G Major...
Painting the Teeth. Almost one-third of the people of the U.S. get their water from wells or small private supplies, where fluoridation is not practical. As a substitute, considerable benefit can come from having a dentist paint children's teeth with stannous fluoride every three years. But this is no national solution, say Dr. Hodge and Dr. Smith, because there are not enough U.S. dentists (100,000) to do the whole job. As for adding fluorides to salt or food, the intakes of these are even more variable than the intake of water. There is not enough medical...
...result is a book, the Index Medicus, which goes to 7,000 libraries around the world. A researcher in London, for example, can leaf through the Index, find the citation he wants, and request it of his local librarian, or, if necessary, seek a copy from Bethesda. Chemists benefit from a similar service in Columbus, Ohio, where articles on their specialty are abstracted and indexed by computer; the "express-indexes" are sold by subscription. Bookless Colleges. The next step after bibliographical control is retrieval of information itself. Computers cannot yet actually "read" documents and pull out the relevant parts. They...
Academic libraries are laying plans to tie themselves together electronically so that each can benefit from the resources of the others. The medical libraries of Harvard, Yale and Columbia have been preparing punch cards for three years for such a network. Another system is Project Intercom, shared by a steadily growing number of colleges (now ten), which hope to unite their literature through computers, beginning with the medical and biological sciences. Eventually, says Intercom Executive Director Dr. James Miller of the University of Michigan, there will be a network of bookless libraries-study booths, electric typewriters and TV screens...
Consider the Context. Nonetheless, a majority of church leaders see no or little danger in federal support of church-associated agencies. Methodist Bishop James Mathews of Boston argues that Project Head Start, for example, is not Government subsidy of religion, since "the church is not receiving the benefit of the money but offering itself as a channel. The church, as a church, is not receiving the money." The president of the Lutheran Church in America, Dr. Franklin Clark Fry, agrees. "We believe that the proper relationship is one of functional interaction," he says. "As we see it, the divinely instituted...
