Help from Democrats. Rockefeller's own future depends on how well he does in the New York election this fall. A big win would propel him strongly into the running in 1964. So far, New York Democrats seem intent on giving him a helping hand. No Democrat has yet emerged who is any real opposition for Rockefeller, and the Democrats have made news mostly by their scramble to avoid facing him in the fall...
...concentrators are identical here. George Wald, professor of Biology, maintains that biology in a General Education context is the best possible introduction to the subject. The course takes up a study of complex organisms only after following the evolutionary development of progressively higher forms of living and intent matter from the fundamental particles. Wald's conclusion is not that this approach has something for everyone, but the best for everyone. His belief derives from a conversion of values over the last fifteen years: he finds that biology is better woven into the scientific unity of the universe than into simply...
...Depends on Intent. The most gifted of the newcomers is New York-born Joan Baez, 21, who has sold more records than any other girl folk singer in history, and who last week had two albums perched high on the pop charts.

Her materials-which she claims people simply send to her in the mail and on which she does no research-are mostly Anglo-American ballads...

If someone desires to make money, I don't call it folk music." To ensure that she does not make too much, she tours only two months a year, mostly on college campuses...
...doesn't really defer to life; it does the reverse: it puts it into question. If an artist really believed in the supremacy of his condition (whose essence is mortality) why would he for a moment go through all the toil of creating an object whose whole intent is to last forever, to be immortal? We find these representative lines in a Shakespearian sonnet: "But thine eternal summer shall not fade/ Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st." Shakespeare, were he deferring to nature, would rejoice in the mortality of his beloved. In fact he does something very...
