Great Gift. Although Cesti is not the father of modern opera (the credit usually goes to Monteverdi), he did more than any other composer to develop the aria and make it as important as the recitative. Cesti's gift for melody was so great that his tunes were often pilfered, and he knew far better than his contemporaries how to weld the melody of an opera to its drama. Orontea, a typical Cesti product, is the story of a skittish Egyptian queen who spurns all suitors because in her "breast love dwells not." But when a handsome shipwrecked sailor...
...Detroit's automakers and their dealers. Playing on the auto-men's conviction that nothing is so important in selling a car as a smooth ride, Tyrex made much of the fact that when a car with nylon tires is parked overnight, its tires tend to develop a flat spot at the point of contact with the road and will go back to a perfect circle only after several miles of driving. Christening this condition "nylon thump," the rayon makers hammered away at it so successfully that Detroit still puts Tyrex on more than...

"For some years there has been a growing belief among people concerned with bettering American...
...Harvard award a degree? Perhaps by large extension of the tenuous reciprocity by which transfer students are now accredited. Or perhaps we would eventually do away with the degree. But how, if we did that, would the professional and business worlds assess the qualifications of our students? They might develop ways, such as we have too seldom seen, for earnest evaluation of the merits of individuals. But what of the problem of disjointed careers? If we are convinced on the basis of evidence in hand that one should bind oneself to a particular career before ever leaving school...
