...plastic surgeon who had operated on women disfigured at Hiroshima, and the two visited Viet Nam later that year. The result of their trip was the creation of CMRI and an agreement from AID to help finance what is now called the Barsky Unit on the grounds of the Cho Ray Hospital. Its dual purpose: to treat and rehabilitate Vietnamese children while training Vietnamese doctors in plastic surgery...
...those special departments of the musical comedy that Lolita, My Love is strangest. The sets by Ming Cho Lee are all very impressive, the choreography by John Morris occasionally exciting. John Barry's first Broadway musical score (after Goldfinger, Midnight Cowboy and lots of other movies) includes several fine numbers, including a very charming ballad about Humbert's past, "In the Broken Promise Land of Fifteen."

An unsystematic thinker who refers to his essays as "fragments," Cioran (pronounced Cho-ran) presents his arguments in ironic, aphoristic prose (see box). It is rather as if Dostoevsky had written Notes from Underground in the style of Pascal's Pensees. Although his gloom has affinities, with existentialism, Cioran is hard to pigeon hole; his eclectic thought contains echoes of all philosophic history...
