...readers this agony is redoubled. Russians have always loved innocents in literature, and the carpenter Ivan is a peasant innocent in direct descent from Tolstoy's Platon Karataev in War and Peace. His meekness is in jarring contrast to the degradation of the camp?where an extra bowl of mush makes a day "almost happy," and where your most important possessions are your felt boots, a spoon you made from aluminum wire, a needle and thread hidden in your...
Never Before. The spinal cord is a cylinder of whitish-grey mush surrounded by a tough casing, running through the hollow centers of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. Inside the cord are nerve cells and main nerve tracts like a telephone installer's spaghetti wire. Although smaller nerves in the extremities may regenerate after injury and partial restoration of function is possible if the cord is not completely severed, there is virtually no precedent of rejoining and restoring function to a completely severed spinal cord in man. Dr. Murray offered a simple explanation of previous failure and his apparent...

And expansion of WRKO-FM into a 24-hour rock station would be a final service (presently, the nine hours after midnight are filled with mush music and talk shows). This would enable the hub's serious devotees to escape Dick Summer, Boston's biggest "drab-gabber," who currently has a popular music monopoly in the prime listening hours after midnight...
