...sylvan tragedy is rarely heard onstage, for since Giuditta Pasta introduced it in 1831, only a handful of sopranos have felt equal to the task of impersonating one of the most complex, heroic and appealing roles in opera. The latest soprano in the noble line of Normas is blonde Greek-Argentine Elena Suliotis, 25, who makes the role's demands sound like a cinch. But to entice those who already own the superb Callas Norma, or Sutherland's less successful try, London has reduced this album's price by cutting the score. Yet quality prevails. Everyone involved...
...gallery placed them, wherever possible, next to a photocopy of the finished work. The demonstration is plain: as West's ideas progressed from initial draft to finished sketch to final oil, faces froze, bodies puffed out. The muscular athlete in the initial sketch becomes, on canvas, a wooden Greek soldier. In almost every case, West was at his best when he stuck to his least...
...believes that anarchists follow a "daydream of desperate romantics." Man's urge to do away with the apparatus that governs him is obviously almost as old as government itself.

Medieval Christianity was full of individualist sects that held that man's laws necessarily interfere with...
...propositions set the play's anguished tone. One derives from Christianity, and the other from Greek mythology. Both involve modern man's reversal of his traditional beliefs and show how present desolation, ironically, was born in past faith. Expelled from the Garden of Eden, man was bereft; expelling God from the cosmos, modern man is equally bereft. The legendary Prometheus stole fire from the gods to give men life, light, art and wisdom...
Fotis C. Kafatos, assistant professor of Biology and popular lecturer in Biology 15b, has spent the last two years investigating the cellular and molecular aspects of cell differentiation (how the cell decides what role it will play). Kafatos, a 28-year-old Greek citizen, has already published a dozen scientific communications which have received international attention. The editors of Nature cited his scientific promise and the crucial nature of his work in a rare burst of praise in the May, 1967, issue. Born in Crete, he came to America immediately after high school and enrolled at Cornell University. He finished...
