...Sondheim became co-author of West Side Story and an established Broadway lyricist. "Steve always wanted to be an American Noel Coward," Foxy recalls fondly. The lyrics for Sondheim's next show, Gypsy, with music by Jule Styne, revealed a Lorenz Hartfulness. He rhymed Mazeppa and schlepper, and the progression "he goes, she goes, egos, amigos" could have come from the master himself. Despite his growing reputation as a lyricist, Sondheim yearned to be recognized as a composer, although his credentials as a musician were skimpy. In 1962, though, he wrote the music as well as the words...
...LORENZ HART. Most people think that Hart is one of the two or three best lyric writers this country has ever known. I find him sloppy all the time. His lyrics don't sit on the music properly. When he is just futzing around with words, he doesn't even do it neatly. He misaccents words. One example is in Pal Joey, the line in Take Him: "I know a movie executive/ Who's twice as bright." It's a good joke, but you don't misaccent a word if you want to write...
...accumulated knowledge, and to destroy a part would rip the whole fabric. Every discovery or invention of man has this dual aspect"-a potential for both benefit and harm. He warns that it does no good to try to retreat to an earlier century, and he quotes Konrad Lorenz, the famed naturalist and animal behaviorist, who has been warning hostile student audiences that if they tear down knowledge to start afresh, they will backslide 200,000 years. "Watch out!" Lorenz cautions the students. "If you make a clean sweep of things, you won't go back to the Stone...
...biological orientation towards violence also challenges sociological theories that classify aggressive behavior in man as instinctual. These theories hold that the interaction of ritualized behavioral drives develops into violence because man has "lost" intraspecies inhibitions. This point of view, formulated by Konrad Lorenz and others, is disputed by Drs. Mark and Ervin. The two argue that the internal brain mechanisms which guide the complex behavioral system of aggression are learned, as evidenced by the fact that directed attack behavior can be stopped "in midcharge." Man is violent only unnaturally...
QJESTIONS such as these require that the sociological perspective be coupled with a medical approach to the problem. Not coincidentally, Dr. Mark is an associate professor of Surgery at the Medical School while Dr. Irven is an associate professor of Psychiatry. Their book reflects this schizoid nature-Lorenz, DeVore, Aristotle, and even Dostoevski's The Idiot are listed as references right along with scores of neurology medical research papers...
