That process is already underway, prompted in part by the pathbreaking funk-electropop fusion of Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock," which combined chants with a purloined Kraftwerk riff and computer pyrotechnics by Arthur Baker...
Eddie Murphy is the first of skitcom's major mimics to span the gap. On SNL he presents a roster of hilariously varied characters. One minute he is Little Richard Simmons, finding just the right comic fusion-effeminate yet macho-of the rock-'n'-roll screamer and the Liberace of aerobics ("Good golly, Miss Molly, you look like a hog!").

Sperry believes that materialism is the only obstacle which prevents a fusion of science and religion, and that his solution to the mind-brain problem has broken down the barrier between the two. And if anyone could link science and ethics, Sperry, an excellent researcher who cares deeply about ethical questions, would be the man. Sperry is also the only Nobel prize-winning scientist to have majored in English...
