Shakespeare and Frost. It is not the kind of atmosphere to which Plimpton was born. He comes from the Massachusetts community of Plimptonville, named for his family, went to the Harvard Medical School and, shortly after World War II service as an Army doctor, joined the faculty of Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. He has remained in academic life ever since. "Medicine and education are the same thing," he says. "A good physician is a good teacher...
...thinking, a medical academician is also versatile. Plimpton, 53, can lace a speech with quotations from Shakespeare, Robert Frost, James Baldwin and other famous non-doctors. Just after he took over Downstate, he participated in a five-day canoe trip in the waterways around New York City, battling the fringe winds and rain of tropical storm Doria and enjoying himself thoroughly. "Even if there were no human bodies broken loose from their concrete sinking blocks in the Gowanus Canal," he says with feigned disappointment. "Canoeing around Brooklyn opens up many new boundaries for head and heart. I recommend...
That improvisation quickly produced rewards. Mariner found an opening in the dust clouds near the south polar cap and managed to get another look at an area that had been marked by long, frost-covered ridge lines and craters during the flybys of Mariners 6 and 7 in 1969.

Said Astronomer Bradford Smith: "This whole area looks like it's been planed off." Some scientists speculated that the most logical...
That disclosure that he had paid no 1970 state income tax because of business losses really hurt California's Governor Ronald Reagan. "Listen," he told David Frost on television, "after what I took the last time, I don't care what exemptions I've got. I'm going to pay some tax in 1971 if I have to invent it." There have been other financial drains, the Governor said. When he and his wife Nancy moved out of the Governor's mansion in 1967 because they thought it was a fire trap, they rented...
...concurrent brutality of nameless authority and unceasing Arctic frost define Ivan's world. Sven Nykvist, Ingmar Bergman's cameraman, has filled Siberia with beautiful winter horizons of shining white snow, deep blue sky, and soft yellow prison search lights. The harshness of the sub-zero temperatures seem more like the sting in the air of a winter carnival. The beautiful landscapes are totally inappropriate. Wrede's depiction of the guards may be more accurate, but everything is so beautiful one can hardly be bothered to notice them...
