...vigorous denials by the Kennedy family, medical detectives have long suspected that John F. Kennedy suffered from Addison's disease, a gradual atrophy of the adrenal glands that in its milder stages can be contained by cortisone (which Kennedy took), but in more advanced cases can result in low resistance to infection, chronic backache and kidney failure. Now a University of Kansas pathologist, Dr. John Nichols, 46, has concluded in the A.M.A. Journal that Kennedy did have it, that an infection stemming from it almost killed him after his spinal operation in 1954. Nichols bases his conclusion...
...Flimsy Wisps. The action largely involved low-priced issues usually connected with such glamour industries as computers, electronics, equipment leasing and magnetic tape. Many of the companies are thriving splendidly, but others have little fundamental strength to support them. Lately, brokers warn, investors have been lunging after issues on flimsy wisps of news, sometimes even calling in orders without knowing the name of the "onics" stock they want...
...could suggest perhaps competition and that brings us to the question, how do you compete with the Maoist model? The Maoist model is geared to a low level of human life in some ways.

We try to put together economic and social arrangements. In other words, I think our basic problem is that our loosely organized, pluralistic society is in competition with the more Spartan and highly...
...concert hall, Sanders Theatre comes close to being a joke. Boisterous pedestrians, revved engines, and low-flying jets are heard in profusion. All have a perverse way of intruding into the music at precisely the "wrong moments"--as if any moment would not be the wrong moment! Last night's audience even had the benefit of hearing an automobile horn anticipate the solo violin by sounding precisely the same "A" with which it was to enter a few second later...
Anouilh underlined the contemporaneity of his play by employing a good deal of low-level speech such as the ancient tragedians avoided, and by specifying the use of modern dress in performance. The current Stratford production is as up-to-date as today's newspapers. It is framed by the on-stage playing of a rock 'n' roll combo, with a bunch of teenagers frugging away (including Antigone's sister Ismene, in a yellow and black miniskirt). The Greek chorus has been reduced to a single commentator by Anouilh (as Shakespeare had done with the Chorus in Henry...
