...failed to crack the Top 40. "I was so in shock at John's passing," says Ono, "that I forgot about the song and pretty much everything else. I certainly wasn't going to any clubs." Thus she had no idea that influential Paradise Garage DJ Larry Levan remixed Walking on Thin Ice into a dance-club anthem in the summer of '81. Levan died in 1992, and since then his many disciples in the DJ world have occasionally paid dual tribute to Levan and Ono with their own Ice mixes. Now an album-length collection of 10 of those...
...effect at Unionville (Pa.) High School, where a school handbook proclaims that "in a democracy, dress and grooming are dictated by good taste and pride in one's appearance" and that "a child's behavior is most often a reflection of the way he dresses." To Superintendent LeVan P. Smith, democratic hair must not touch the eyes, ears or shirt collar. He suspended Senior Alan T.

...that in the appropriate host and in the appropriate circumstances perhaps any virus can invade the chromosomes of a cell and start the process of abnormal reproduction which we call cancer.

Though he still has no proof that such changes lead to cancer in later life. Dr. Levan is checking the effects of other common viruses...
...Albert Levan grew human cells in laboratory flasks and devised a technique for using their lab-cultured cells to get a far clearer picture of the chromosomes inside them than had ever been available before. They counted and recounted the chromosomes. The total came to only 46 -though for 30 years scientists had been certain that the human species had 48. Touched off by the revolutionary Tjio-Levan discovery, six hectic years of work on chromosomal abnormalities have already revealed clear links with some physical and mental disorders. Dr. Tjio got a personal award of $8,333 but no cash...
...last week Princeton grads were earnestly stacking Kazmaier up against Old Nassau's football immortals-Garry LeVan, Jake Slagle, San White, Hector Cowan and Edgar Allan Poe, quarterback on the '89 team.- Undergraduates, howling gleefully in the stands, were comparing Kazmaier to players they had never seen-Tommy Harmon, Red Grange, Chris Cagle. On the record, Kaz ranks with the best of today's amateurs: Tennessee's Hank Lauricella, Illinois' Johnny Karras, Southern California's Frank Gifford. And on the record, for the second year in a row, he is an inevitable choice...
