...consider perception by an individual human being as communication from the external world to that human, says Moles, now a professor of philosophy in Strasbourg. Let us consider in detail artistic communications, since it is particularly easy to isolate them. Then esthetic perception, as a special kind of communication, should be amenable to analysis by information theory, Moles concludes, since information theory is a mathematical theory of communication...
Still, birth control is being studies in detail in both its ethical and biological aspects, by other members of the Center. Assistant professors Ralph B. Potter and Arthur J. Dyck, both of the Divinity School, teach and do research on the relationship between ethics and population control. Dyck justifies the inclusion of ethics in population studies by pointing out that the real problem in controlling birth rates is not the acceptance of birth control techniques. This often results only in a more even spacing out of a large family, he explained. The real variable is whether people want a large...
Napoleon made his decision and went to work. In six blazing, uninterrupted hours that left his secretary's hand a stiffened lump, he dictated to the last detail the plan of a campaign that took 150,000 men from the Channel to the Danube in what many historians consider the greatest military march of modern times. Though this book is burdened by a poor English translation, French Novelist-Historian Claude Manceron succeeds in providing a meticulously documented account of the 1805 campaign. And his hour-by-hour reconstruction of Austerlitz, Napoleon's most brilliant military success, presents...

He demanded and got a running record of every regiment, including a summary of its encounters, its numerical strength, the roll of its injured and sick and the number of its annual recruitment. He commanded an elaborate network of spies who informed him minutely of the strength and movements of his adversaries. He centralized authority absolutely in himself, and his precise, ingeniously correlated orders of march gained a maneuverability for his army that was far in excess of that enjoyed by any other...
...concerned with keeping orchestra and soloist together, he allowed them repeatedly to part company, primarily in the second movement. Orchestral climaxes seemed halfhearted, and the solo playing (that of cellist Jules Eskin) almost mediocre. For all his apparent courtesy, Leinsdorf did little to assist the pianist in matters of detail, and in several instances appeared to intimidate Indjic into hasty exits...
