...addicts taking oral doses of cyclazocine twice a day found that six times their usual narcotic dose was required to give them any euphoric effect at all. Cyclazocine, which is itself nonaddictive, apparently has no serious side effects after tolerance is built up, and substantially reduces the physiological impact of morphine-based narcotics, probably by preventing the morphine from reaching receptor sites in the nervous system...
...appropriate close. The listener is always guaranteed a few nervous thrills; but Friday's performance offered far more. Munch focused the overextended first movement into several overwhelming climaxes, emphasized its contrasts, and even created, amazingly, a genuine air of tragedy. While totally different in approach, this interpretation equalled in impact the famous Toscanini broadcast recording. The final movement seemed somewhat less successful, probably due less to Munch's varied tempo than to the limitations of the hall's Skinner organ, which lacks clarity and brilliance...
...Madrid and Washington, the two governments revealed that only one of the three recovered bombs had actually survived the fall intact. Some of the TNT detonators on the other two had exploded on impact and ruptured the shell casing, permitting some radioactive plutonium and uranium to scatter over 18 acres in the impact area.

...sale of James Bond 007 products is tailing off. Gimbels of Philadelphia, the first store to carry Batman T shirts, sold out its shipment of 360 in a day, ordered 2,400 more. Sales of all kinds of Batman merchandise would be still bigger except that manufacturers mistimed the impact, have fallen as far as six weeks behind in deliveries. "I've seen maybe 50 items in hand samples," complains Charles Lucas, Chicago-based buyer for 495 Walgreen drugstores. "But we've only got about ten in our stores...
...Atienza plays him as a spry-minded, physically crumbling comedy figure. He gives up one attempt at seduction by falling exhausted into an armchair, resolving that dying would probably be a good thing as it required little energy. But by playing Shabelsky as a dodderer, Atienza lessens his dramatic impact. In Act III, when he is suddenly reminded of the duets he once played with Ivanov's now dead wife, his burst of tears comes across more as the product of senility than of grief. Only when he speaks in a calmer voice of his own dead wife...
