...remembers with exquisite intensity a deserted beach, a lover's touch, "the silence of the sky in my eyes." He gives a bluff account of a pond in the nearby park, some sniggering adolescents, the excrement of ducks. Dame Peggy makes her lines into the soliloquy of a Molly Bloom. Both casts have to make the most of the unspoken word, but the best-modulated pauses of all are hers...
Learned Response. Dr. Peter Lang, research professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin, has applied autonomic learning to control the human heart rate. Attached to a monitor, a subject is told to watch a TV-like screen and to make the moving lines on it shorter, corresponding to a slower heart rate. Without any conscious effort or muscle tensing, the lines shorten, the rate slows, the subject becomes able, as Lang puts it, "to drive his own heart." Lang has not probed for an explanation beyond showing that the changing heart rate is indeed a learned response. The unconscious...
...Backhaus, 85, German patriarch of concert pianists and the century's foremost interpreter of Beethoven; of a heart attack; in Villach, Austria. When Backhaus was eight, the noted pianist-composer Arthur Nikisch wrote to him that "whoever plays the great Bach so well when so young will surely make his way later on."

But his deepest dedication was to Beethoven, whose sonatas he played with great clarity of style and breadth of emotion. He gave...
Music, Demo, Talk. Although he hopes to be syndicated and eventually perhaps make a network comeback, he is starting in modest style. Instead of yesterday's Today army of 116 staffers, Garroway gets along with just six in Boston. The format, in TV jargon, is "music, demo, demo, talk, talk"-guest singer or jazz group, a visual demonstration of something like glassblowing or astronomy, and the inevitable circuit-riding horde of authors promoting books or public figures pushing causes. Garroway calls it the "desk and sofa concept," and he certainly should know. Yet his taste, often waggish, brings...
What investors saw on the tax-and-money front in Washington last week was just the opposite. Extension of the tax surcharge has become the symbol of the Government's determination to fight inflation; if it is not extended, the Federal Reserve will have to make money even tighter, and 12% interest rates could become the rule. But Senate Democrats are holding the surtax as hostage, vowing that they will not vote for it unless it is combined with long-overdue tax reforms. They sense a taxpayers' revolt and know that reform has become politically popular. Tax reform...
