Such oracular instincts bring a muscular moral to most Graham ballets, but she tempers her preachments with ironic wit and a healthy interest in all circumstances that cause the hips to quiver. Her choreography is full of strangely natural distortions of movements from life-leaps and spread-eagle stretches, fluttering fingers, crawls, great sweeps of outstretched legs, pelvic rolls and caresses.* Her open-air approach to sex makes her company more masculine than most-though the soft little scrimmage in her new Secular Games manages to make even her strong male dancers look disturbingly dainty...
...spite of the tatic nature of most of his role, Herlihy made clear one mutation, when, in the face of Davies' increasing demands, he asserted himself. Of the three, Herlihy's performance was the most striking; mad roles are usually strong, but Herlihy captured the muscular slackness, wandering eyes, broken sentences, and general indirection of some real schizophrenics with astonishing exactitude.

Then off to London...
Clue in the Neck. Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi (pronounced St. Georgie) entered the cancer field almost by chance. After he fled Hungary's Communist control in 1947, he was able to resume at Woods Hole his long work on muscle. Concentrating on one of the commonest of muscular diseases, myasthenia gravis, he had a clue. Sometimes a victim of "MG" does better after his thymus gland is removed. Searching for the explanation, Szent-Gyorgyi, who has a Cambridge Ph.D. in biochemistry besides his M.D., spent years doing delicate chemical dissections of the thymus glands of calves, supplied by Chicago...
