STRAUSS: Der Rosenkavalier. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf as the Marschallin, Sena Jurinac as Octavian, Anneliese Rothenberger as Sophie, Otto Edelmann as Baron Ochs. Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Video Arts International; $79.95; hi-fi mono. Pride of place belongs to this classic, filmed at the Salzburg Festival and released in 1962. The cast is the cream of central Europe at the time: Schwarzkopf, regal but warm in what was her greatest role; Jurinac, an ardent youthful swain; Rothenberger, silvery voiced and breathtakingly beautiful; and Edelmann, a bumptious hick from the sticks. Karajan's mastery of the score so gloriously displayed...
...first, scientists insisted it could not possibly work. Then they said it was too hard to understand. But three decades after Herbert Hauptman and Jerome Karle, working at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, developed a mathematical method to determine the three-dimensional structure of molecules, no chemist can live without it. Recognizing the importance of the analytical technique, the Nobel Committee awarded the 1985 Prize for Chemistry to Karle, who still works at the Naval lab, and Hauptman, now the research director of the Medical Foundation of Buffalo Research Laboratories. The honor was not entirely unexpected...
...Klitzing's breakthrough, which bears directly on the design of semiconductors, was based on a discovery in 1879 by Edwin Herbert Hall, an American physicist. Hall had observed that electricity traveling through a metallic strip is diverted to one side when a magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to the flow of the current. A measurement of that diverted current is known as Hall voltage. Von Klitzing expected to find that Hall voltage in semiconductors is affected by the material from which they are composed. To his astonishment, Von Klitzing discovered that a measure of the voltage did not depend...
Cooperation with the Coop: In 1971, a professor named Herbert Bloch wrote to the COI that he was dissatisfied with how the Coop was handling its textbook ordering. "Because there is no established mechanism at Harvard for handling such complaints, the Commission undertook to investigate the matter itself," says the COI's report on the incident. After several meetings with Coop directors, it made several recommendations to improve faculty-Coop relationships, two of which it sought to implement...
...themes and variations, yet it provides hummable pop tunes. Like Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, Les Miserables originated as a double-record album. That version, by French authors, was staged at the 4,500-seat Palais des Sports in Paris in 1980. For the R.S.C., Nunn, Lyricist Herbert Kretzmer and other writers radically refashioned the text. The result is less French than English in tone and idiom, but that seems apt: Hugo's socialistic portraits of the downtrodden but unconquerable poor, and of the implacable forces of law that try to suppress them on behalf of men of property, could...
