BECAUSE TINTEROW'S selection process was deliberate and careful, the exhibition is easier to ingest than the MoMa show, which was ten times the size. Tinterow has successfully pared down Picasso's works on paper to a tight package, interesting to the giants of the art world, and intriguing to those who bring little previous knowledge of art to the Fogg. The exhibition is not one to be missed, and if the crowd of 1400 who came in out of the rain for the opening Thursday night is any indication, it will...
...department found that babies with no obvious exposure to such canned foods were coming down with the disease. C. botulinum bacteria are ubiquitous. They thrive in the earth and are spread as spores through dust in the air as well as on vegetables, fruits or in honey. Adults regularly ingest the microbes but customarily suffer no harm. The spores remain dormant in the adult intestine. For as yet unknown reasons, the intestines of some babies aged one to six months provide a hospitable environment for the spores, permitting them to germinate and make their deadly toxin. It is a nerve...
January 7. Today was a productive one for Shulamith and me. Working around the clock, we induced strangulation in a mouse.

If we can transfer the tailsnap procedure to humans, we may have something. Too early to tell...
...seeker of nirvana and psychophysical energy does not plunge into the tank as if it were a Y.M.C.A. pool. When making a reservation he is advised not to ingest alcohol, coffee, drugs or a heavy meal; on arrival he must sign a form attesting that he does not have a cold, a skin irritation or a history of seizures or blackouts. Only then is he led to a private cubicle to begin the treatment. At Manhattan's Tranquility Tanks, this involves an eight-point countdown that includes a shower (herbal soap and shampoo), entering the tank ("Have a wonderful...
...after all, only a dollar, which makes it, at worst, the cheapest two hours of punishment in Boston, There's Chris Clemenson: talent sometimes peeks its head out of the quicksand. You know you'll laugh and you know you'll sleep, and I advise you to ingest the sort of central nervous depressants that enhance both. Besides, who knows? Maybe John Simon will be there with his Luger...
