DEDICATED TO DOLPHY (Cambridge). "Jazz has evolved from a folk music into an art music," said Gunther Schuller, explaining the kind of atonal, far-out compositions that he, John Lewis, Harold Farberman and Bill Smith have written for this album. The results are cooler and more cerebral than those of Eric Dolphy, the late wild-blowing, note-bending alto saxophonist. But Bill Smith (on clarinet) and the other instrumentalists are first-rate, and the music, though it seldom swings, consistently sizzles...
...powerful that it raised great "tides" in the solid earth, literally causing it to bulge in the direction of the moon (a smaller bulge was raised on the opposite side of the earth). Because the moon moved more slowly across the sky when it was at its far-out apogee than the surface of the earth revolved below it, the bulge tended to lead the moon. Its gravity thus pulled forward on the moon. At perigee, when the moon was moving across the sky faster than the earth's rotation, the bulge lagged behind, exerting a backward pull. When...

And so quickly do things happen in the mod, mod world of fashion that she has already been hailed as a major innovator, and last week was the hit of the show at Paraphernalia's Manhattan workshop...
...vast majority of the Now Generation has little time for the far-out revels of the beatniks. In consequence, perhaps, its leisure time Happenings have an imaginative opulence that far transcends the entertainments of its parents. The result, as one authority puts it, is "a kind of hedonism of the moment." That hedonism was vibrantly evident last week on the beaches of Florida, where the vacationing young had arrived in force. While the sands thundered to the Big Beat of transistors at full blast, surfers leafed lightly over the waves, and girls in Bermuda-length "cutoffs" or gaudy minishifts strolled...
