Four months ago in Natick, Mass, a countryman named Vito Geneva was stung by a bee. He felt no serious effects at the time, but in his body there occurred an obscure, powerful response called anaphylaxis. This unusual condition is the opposite of immunity. A minute dose of a foreign protein makes the victim vastly more susceptible thereafter to further small injections of the same substance.

...COLLEGE class which lasts four hours at one sitting sounds like a heavy dose. Yet the students majoring in psychology at, Colgate University, 10 per cent of the upperclassmen, take their seminars in this half-day dosage every week of their last two years of college---and they do all of the teaching themselves, and like it!

The cycle at Carnegie Hall would require seven stiff programs, one a week for seven weeks. Pianist Schnabel is not a glamorous figure, but a stubby, square-headed little Austrian who stalks woodenly on stage, seats himself leisurely at his piano, waits for quiet, proceeds to play as if he had no audience. When Schnabel decides on a program, his invariable comment...
