...most hideous experiments, first reported on December 26 by the Boston Globe, scores of mentally retarded children at the Fernald School in Waltham, Mass., were given radioactive iron and calcium with their breakfast cereal. The experiments, conducted by Harvard and MIT scientists from 1946 to 1956, were done without fully disclosing the hazards to all the subjects, the newspaper said...
...have come to light, including large-scale medical tests involving hundreds of patients. A series published in the Albuquerque Tribune detailed one experiment in which 18 people were injected with high concentrations of plutonium, apparently without their full consent. In another test, 800 pregnant women were exposed to radioactive iron in order to investigate its effects on fetal development. The testicles of 67 inmates at an Oregon state prison were exposed to X rays to determine how radiation might alter sperm production...
...full stretch, one need only look at the final painting in the show, finished just last month (too late for the catalog): Evening in the Studio. It shows the inside of the artist's London workplace, a medium-size and undistinguished room with blotched walls. There is an iron bed on whose thin, lumpy mattress a whippet sleeps.

A naked man on his back, one leg up and a sock dangling from the other foot, penis flopping askew, turns out to echo closely the pose of that Hellenistic image...
...more important, on how to make it self-sufficient. Nights of rinkside fun and fantasy have already cost upwards of a million dollars. On the day of a game last week, Warshaw approached Russian coach Viktor Tikhonov with a request from one of the team's sponsors, Pittsburgh's Iron City Beer, to have advertising patches put on the jerseys. Tikhonov, who is revered in Russia for his guidance of the Red Army and Olympic teams, turned him down. "It's bad luck to do anything like that on game day," said Tikhonov...
