...AGGRESSION, by Konrad Lorenz. In this fascinating natural history of violence, a celebrated Austrian naturalist traces the all-too-human passion of aggression to its roots in the lower phyla and finds there an inherent (and hopefully inherited) capacity to transform aggression into love...
...nationwide police dragnet turned up more details. A Sydney newspaperman reported that he had seen the Tun (an aristocratic Malaysian title, though of lower rank than Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's Prime Minister) taking a plane to Sydney under the assumed name "Hawk." Lim Yew Hock turned out to have been a habitue of Sydney's tenderloin King's Cross district, particularly its Paradise Club, which featured Sandra Nelson, 19, the most expansive (43-24-36) stripper in town. Where was Sandra? Also missing; and try as they might, the police couldn't locate...
...idea is not new. The national P.T.A. has been urging earlier public schooling since 1898. The Federal Government financed nurseries to provide work for adult supervisors during the Depression and to free mothers for defense work in World War II. The current impetus to lower the school age stems from the general success-still largely statistical-of Project Head Start, which gave 560,000 "culturally disadvantaged" children from low income families eight weeks of preschool training last summer, will handle another 210,000 three-to-six-year-olds in a year-round program starting next fall...
...lower jaw is too short, Dr. Obwegeser cuts halfway through its rearward, ascending segment, the ramus, on the inner side. On the cheek side, he cuts halfway through the bottom part of the jawbone. Then he divides the bone lengthwise, leaving two pieces with half-thickness ends. He slides these pieces apart, lengthening the jawbone but leaving a space where the lower cut was made. Where nonalignment is too great to be corrected by an operation on the lower jaw alone, Dr. Obwegeser may move all or part of the upper jaw. With remarkable versatility, he can even move...
...Hammett, although it would be imprecise to stress the word literary in reference to Spillane. Hammett, who died in 1961, created the tough-guy private eye, who has since taken up permanent residence in the ghetto world of detective fiction, but none of Hammett's many imitators ranks lower than Mickey Spillane. Anyone who bothers to measure Spillane's latest Tiger Mann mystery against this posthumous collection of Hammett's Continental Op stories, first published in the '20s in Black Mask magazine, will instantly...
