There is a new breed of black city musicians emerging whose sound is represented by the Chambers Brothers at its worst (and that's not bad) and by Sly and the Family Stone at its best. Chaka is of this breed--a gay and competent group of black rock-and-rollers...
...flight Shaw deserves more, maybe, than the Charles can give it. But by good fortune the weakest elements of this production are almost uniformly crammed into the first act, and the quality improves thereafter. Even Shaw-haters, and there are far too many of this odd, most often ignorant, breed--even they should find The Millionairess lovable...
...likely to succeed before the artificial heart is perfected, according to DeBakey. The first heart transplanted into a human being was a chimpanzee's in 1964, and it failed. This year, a sheep's heart also failed. The great apes are too scarce, and too reluctant to breed in captivity to be a source of supply. Before animals' hearts can escape rejection, researchers will have to outwit the genetic code and raise special breeds-a matter of years...
...change, no matter how much you condition them. This kind of rigid social determinism is discredited by the empirical truth that the institutions of the Soviet Union have largely been changed but its people seem just as avaricious as any in the world.

Once the hunt began, they had to face not only danger from harpooned whales but also the nauseating stench of whale processing. The returns, though, made it all worthwhile. In a good year, Sandefjord's seamen earned more in six months than a landlubber could...
