ANDREW HILL ANDREW!!! (Blue Note). Pianist Hill has his own very definite views of modern jazz piano. His music is filled with gently dissonant surgings, expressive rippling lines that are as romantic as they are atonal, and intuitive, crosshatched rhythms that emerge and then break off. Helping him project this engaging moodiness are John Gilmore's thin-edged tenor sax, Bobby Hutcherson's delicate vibes, the attentive probings of Bassist Richard Davis and the irregular cymbals of Drummer Joe Chambers. The group's finest moments come in The Groits, which, despite its ugly name, consists of lovely...
...Chicago cops and 1,000 federal agents will be in and around the amphitheatre during evening sessions. A special contingent of 200 firemen will also be on the grounds round the clock to answer special calls. The memory of last year's multimillion-dollar holocaust that gutted the modern McCormick Place convention hall-it probably would have housed this year's convention-is still painfully fresh. If mass arrests overflow the Cook County Jail, officials are prepared to put prisoners in tents in the jail yard. While the candidates trade charges on whether the convention is open...

Citing a 1967 American Medical Association journal's psychiatric report claiming that sexual roles are "being reversed," Packard says that "many young males not only feel their adequacy threatened, but are confused as to what the modern world expects of them." He found support for this analysis at an Eastern women's college, where a girl revealed that "most of the men I have dated in the past year have made overtures at going all the way but are not disappointed if you refuse...
...modern medical technology has made the definition and determination of death increasingly complex, the transplant era has made both problems increasingly urgent. Virtually every physician and surgeon in the world wants to have his say. When the World Medical Association met in Sydney last week, 212 members from 28 nations debated the issues. They eventually adopted a tentative guideline document, the Declaration of Sydney, subject to detailed reconsideration next year. Simultaneously, a committee of 13 top-ranking Harvard professors proclaimed their code in the Journal of the A.M.A...
