...ACADEMY IN PERIL; John Cale (Reprise, $5.98). A bizarre, whimsical but steadfastly intriguing serving of pop esoterica from a young composer who has worked with both John Cage and the rock group, Velvet Underground. Cale's orchestral writing (played by the Royal Philharmonic) often sounds like ersatz Charles Ives, Cale's piano parts (played by Cale himself) like sleepy Debussy. Yet within their pop context, they possess a kind of "laid-back" mood that may just appeal to the rock young...
...other. For instance, both men and women can mother children-the necessary circuits are there in every brain-but the "threshold" for releasing this behavior is higher in males than in females. The same phenomenon is demonstrated by laboratory animals. If a mature female rat is put into a cage with newborn rats, she begins mothering them at once.

Another woman, who never discovered why she was being held, was crammed for ten months with six others into a pit cage at the most notorious prison on Con Son island. "It smelled so foul at times that we wanted to die," she said. "When we asked for water, they dropped lime on us. It burned our skin and eventually blinded me."

...boards, where it hit someone and bounced back into the rink. Assuming that play was dead, the Belmont goalie slouched over to one side of the net for a few moments of relaxation. Hynes picked up the puck again and slammed it from near center ice toward the untended cage, where it hit a post at the back or front...
...good, his bluff was even better. Perhaps Hobson's most famous episode was the great rat scare. To dramatize the rodent problem in ghetto housing, he threatened almost daily to release hundreds of rats in fashionable Georgetown. He drove through Washington's black ghetto with a cage of rats strapped to the top of his station wagon, claiming he was going to a rat rally. In truth he never had more than a dozen rats in the cage, all of which he drowned eventually, but jittery officials got the message. They launched a major rat extermination program...
