...fragments of visionary and mystical experience. Such a moment came to T. E. Lawrence in the desert among the Bedouins, when he visualized God as "pure mind." It came to George Fox, who tried to institutionalize it in the Quaker movement, whose members were to be guided by an "inner light." It came to Nijinsky as he made the final entry in his diary: "My little girl is singing: 'Ah ah ah ah.' I do not understand its meaning, but I feel what she wants to say. She wants to say that everything . . . is not horror...
...effects of ileitis are fairly well-known. Inflammation in the end loops causes the walls of the ileum to become engorged with blood, while the inner surface develops scar tissue. The inflamed area becomes swollen with water. These conditions narrow the passage through which the remnants of food, now mostly digested, pass into the colon. When the closure is extreme, waste matter cannot be discharged...
...Blowproof Tire. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. is test-marketing a nylon cord tire within a tire that it says can be driven about 250 miles after a puncture or blowout bad enough to slash the casing. The tire has two casings-inner and outer-each with an independent air supply. If the outer casing is punctured, the built-in-spare inner casing keeps the tire inflated. Goodyear hopes its Captive-Air tire will replace the tubeless tire, which turns punctures into slow leaks and allows a safe but quick stop. Price: 40%-60% more than standard tubeless tires...
Essentially a landscape painter, Kienbusch finds that reworking nature and translating it into his own terms is the only way to get at its inner meaning and intensity. Says he: "I betray nature if I copy." In the Houston Museum of Fine Arts' Across Penobscot Bay (opposite) he shows "what it feels like on a beautiful day to look from an island across the bay. What interested me was that the space of the trees in the foreground seems to embrace the space of the bay." The starting point for The Weir and the Island, now owned by Manhattan...
...program began with a song cycle for baritone and piano by Thomas Beveridge, sung by the composer, with Frederic Rzewski accompanying. The four songs, based upon a German text, treat each of the seasons in turn: Fall (prayer), Winter (song of the inner soul), Spring (creation), and Summer (music of the spheres). Beveridge writes in a modal style. His lyrical melodies, though expressive, are seldom very distinctive. The pieces contain an abundance of material out of proportion to their length, for the music attempts to follow every change of the text without being sufficiently integrated. The form of the songs...
