...year-old Merlyn Stuart Pitzele (pronounced Pit-sell-lee), the rewards of a lifetime in and around the labor movement have been considerable. A natty dresser and nifty talker, Pitzele is Business Week labor editor, was Dwight Eisenhower's labor adviser, served as Tom Dewey's New York State Mediation Board chairman. Last week, appearing in the McClellan committee's investigation of labor-relations Wheeler-Dealer Nathan Shefferman (TIME, Nov. 4), Mel Pitzele owned up to still another reward. While he was editing stories, advising Ike and mediating labor disputes, he was also collecting...
Eventually the kuru sufferer is completely helpless, unable to swallow, capable of only slight movement and feeble grunts. In a native hut, he dies of starvation, infected bedsores or pneumonia. At Okapa's hospital, Drs. Gajdusek and Zigas have prevented bedsores, and eliminated starvation as a cause of death by intravenous feedings. And still the patients die.

...program music, more on the level of a movie sound track than a concert piece. The first movement, "Palace Square," evoked an atmosphere of imminent tragedy, with its ominous drumbeat in the background.

The "Rah, rah, rah!" refrain of Harvardmen, by Putzi's account, became the thunderous "Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" of the Brownshirt demonstrations. Storm Trooper bands blared their goose-step rhythms with a between-halves unison...
...ritornello, Poto followed the soloist with amazing precision. While the orchestra did not play with as much expressiveness, rhythmic drive, and intensity as it might have, it at least supplied vigor and accuracy. The winds lapsed into insecure entrances and poor intonation at the beginning of the second movement, but their solos were generally good, especially those of oboist Michael Palmer. Miss Martzy received an immediate standing ovation at the end--a rare event in Sanders...
