...congregation generally finds Wine's godless, empirical approach inspiring. Says Attorney Merrill Miller: "He has made religion the most meaningful experience for me in terms of ethical and moral decisions." Other rab bis in Detroit, however, think that Wine is an immature sensationalist, and the schedule of his weekly sermons has been struck from the local Jewish News. Pittsburgh's Rabbi Solomon Freehof, one of Reform Judaism's leading theologians, suggests that Wine ought to drop all pretenses entirely and call his Birmingham Temple the "rationalist association of Detroit." "When he uses the title rabbi...
...content with bis monopoly of New York's Spanish press, Chalk is also airlifting editions to Puerto Rico, thinks he can sell 100,000 copies a day on the island.

The toadfish is an ideal subject for such an experiment because it has simple kidney and insulin-producing mechanisms that permit researchers to observe sugar changes. To obtain blood samples, the researchers prick each toadfish's tail. To collect urine, they attach balloons to the excretory ducts of the toadfish...
...cops had to be called out in Turkey (TIME, Aug. 24), and the Salzburg concert was S.R.O. In Warsaw, where the orchestra was showered with flowers, Associate Manager Carlos Moseley reported: "The whole hall stood and cried 'bis' in some funny way that sounded like hundreds of birds cooing." Bernstein managed to steal a few hours to visit Chopin's home and drop in at a jazz club for a jam session. The party broke up at 3 a.m., and Lenny was accompanied to his hotel in a long, gay, noisy procession that dispersed only after scores...
