...Feodor Lynen, SC.D., Nobel Prize biochemist. An inspiring teacher, who, by his intellectual curiosity and example, has influenced and stimulated generations of students...
...people who were working on this week's cover story could return the compliment with sincerity. For Artist Boris Chaliapin, the assignment brought warm memories of family: his father, the great Russian basso Feodor Chaliapin, was a close friend of Rubinstein's in Europe many years ago.

Cholesterol is known to be the raw material of the sex hormones; some researchers believe that...
Bach & Brubeclc. The group's acknowledged skill only emphasizes its relative youth: First Violinist Evgeny Smirnov is 26, while Cellist Yuly Turovsky, the youngest member, has not yet turned 25. Indeed, to look at them, Barshai's wonders could pass for young American jazzniks-especially Bassist Feodor Plyat, 26, who wears horn-rims, and Oboist Evgeny Nepalo, 27, whose lank 6 ft. 4 in. is topped by a brown crewcut. Though it prefers Bach, the group does, in fact, dig jazz. Its preference: the clean-lined cool of Erroll Garner and Dave Brubeck...
