...patiently built a copy of the smaller fragment. After he had stuck 13 of the acids together, he joined his synthetic segment to the 104-acid remainder of natural ribonuclease. The reconstituted enzyme proved to have 70% of the activity of the natural substance. Apparently the seven amino acids, Nos. 14 to 20, that had been left out are like the chip collector on a lathe-useful but not essential...
Manhattan's elegant, four-story town house at i Sutton Place, overlooking the East River, now belongs to the man who lives next door in Nos. 3 and 5. The buyer of the ivy-covered pied-a-terre, sold at auction fortnight ago for a stupendous $436,000: Arthur A. Houghton Jr., 55, president of Steuben Glass, who purchased the property "as a long-term investment." It should prove a good one. In 1943 the Georgian brick residence, built in 1925 for Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, sold for just...
What touched of-the uproar was an incident in a University of Amsterdam student club, inappropriately called "Nos Inngit Amicitia" (Friendship Ties Us Together). When a freshman complained because a plate of hot soup was poured over him, he was told to keep quiet or face "the Dachau treatment," in which upperclassmen shout, "Jews stand up!"

The Eighth Symphony won a standing ovation ("Moments of true greatness," wrote the Daily Telegraph), and some listeners found the string quartets-particularly Nos. 5 and 7-to be as fine as any of the orchestral music. But with the Western Premiere of the massive, bombastic Twelfth Symphony, the response changed-as if a totally different composer had appeared on the scene. The Twelfth, said the Daily Herald, was a "crash dive into banality...
...youngsters of the Princeton (N.J.) High School Choir performed in West Berlin, audiences were indeed shocked, but they were also delighted. People who had turned up expecting to hear such staples as Surrey with the Fringe on Top, got a dose of Anton Webern-the complex Cantatas Nos. 1 and 2-plus a Buxtehude cantata and Bach's Magnificat. As it passed the mid-point of its month-long tour of Europe last week, the choir had collected a scrapbook full of glowing reviews. The fact that teenagers could sing music of such complexity, wrote the critic...
