...final work of consequence was Holst's masterpiece for large wind band, Hammersmith. Holst was a chaste, humble man of quiet, massive integrity and gentleness. His conscience burned aghast at the stupidity of conflict while at the same time luxuriated in stout goodwill. While most comfortable in small forms, Holst also created large works such as the Hymn to Jesus, the opera Savitri, the cinematic Planets, and the sombre tone poem Egdon Heath. The Ensemble was less successful with this work, but the excellence of the brass choir, which played with solar brightness, was the best I have heard...
...immune mechanism and the at tempts made to suppress it? After studying microscopic sections of the transplanted heart, Dr. Barnard said they showed only minimal evidence of rejection. But on the basis of a similar set of heart-tissue samples, a distinguished transplant team at London's Hammersmith Hospital, headed by Surgeon William J. Dempster, said that it found signs of "a moderately severe rejection reaction-more than just minimal." American pathologists who saw Barnard's slides were divided in their judgments.

In their most dramatic and catastrophic form, they are called pulmonary embolisms, and they may be almost as common as the single heart attack that proves quickly fatal. Their mechanism is similar-a blood clot traveling through the veins, usually from a leg, blocks one of the great arteries carrying blood from the heart to the lungs...
...guests attending Newport's top summer spectacular: the debut of winsome Janet Jennings Auchincloss, 18, daughter of Investment Broker Hugh D. Auchincloss and half sister of Jacqueline Kennedy (who sent a bouquet, insisted the party go on despite her own recent tragedy). The Auchincloss estate, Hammersmith Farm, was done up in Venetian style, with colored lanterns, a pink marquee on the lawn overlooking Narragansett Bay, Meyer Davis' orchestra in gondolier garb, gondolier hats for the young men and golden masks for the young ladies. Janet, in a white strapless gown by Dior, looked like a cinch...
