...shooting, with a total of 500 deaths on both sides. In the past 2½ years, however, the zone has been relatively quiet. Until last week, there had been no American deaths since November 1974. In the interim, the most serious injury was suffered by Major Darryl Henderson, whose larynx was crushed when he was attacked and beaten unconscious last year by North Korean guards in Panmunjom...
...Jarreau: Glow (Reprise). Jarreau is primarily a jazz singer with a scatman's vast repertory of swoops, glides and vocal glissandi. In concerts he adds his own million-dollar magic trick: he carries a band in his larynx - or so it seems when Jarreau fills in the melody with vocal imitations of instruments. He can even accompany himself, crooning the words of a sleepy ballad while making rhythmic clicks deep in his throat to provide a percussive counterpoint. Jarreau's vocal antics on this LP are confined to a guitar (Fire and Rain), flute (Glow) and bass (Hold...
What's harder to figure are the people involved in the beauty treatment. For his executive editor, Kramer brought in Ron Rosenbaum, a contributor to Esquire and New Times who had once been a larynx at The Village Voice in the throaty pre-Felker days.

...token ten minutes. After that he returned to his deadlier contest in the Ewing Eight ward of the Sloan-Kettering Memorial Cancer Center in Manhattan. He had been in and out of the ward since the beginning of his illness. To his friends there-an old woman with no larynx, a boy with no jaw, a man whose flesh had wasted away, and one or two people his own age-he became an un-defeatable rallying point. He mocked doom by plotting "jail breaks" and rebellion against the staff. He laughed at cancer by drawing and circulating absurd cartoons. Once...
Died. Jack Hawkins, 62, robust, husky-voiced British actor often cast in the role of a steadfast military man (Bridge on the River Kwai) or a true-blue police inspector (Gideon of Scotland Yard); following a long battle with throat cancer; in London. In 1966 Hawkins lost his larynx to cancer. Last April, hoping to regain his full voice, he volunteered to undergo an experimental procedure in Manhattan for the surgical implantation of an artificial voice-box, but his throat never healed...
