...Rosenfeld once said that Copland's works of the early '30's "resemble nothing so much as steel cranes, bridges and the frame of skyscrapers." But although direct quotation of jazz and folk songs find little place in these pieces, both influences are now assimilated into his style and occur in an indirect fashion...
Crowded Space. Last week Ryle reported to the Royal Astronomical Society that after carefully surveying many strips of the sky, he had come to the remarkable conclusion that colliding galaxies get more crowded in space as they get farther away. Those that are 8 billion light-years away occur eleven times as thickly as those near the earth. If pairs of colliding galaxies are closer together at that distance, Ryle reasoned, noncolliding galaxies, which are 100 million times more numerous, must be closer together...
...Pappenheimer needed an experimental animal in which the blocking of cytochrome synthesis would produce readily detectable effects. The Cecropia silk worm satisfied the requirement. During both the caterpillar phase and the period of adult development Cecropia produces substantial quantities of cytochromes. In the dormant pupa stage, though, the enzymes occur in only trace amounts. By showing that resistance to diphtheria toxin in the pupa stage is much greater than during other phases, Pappenheimer furnished compelling evidence for his theory...

It matters very much, therefore, that a girl faces conflicts between academic achievement and social life, that she seeks a connection between what she is doing and her future life, and that the academic world pressures her to intellectualize all experience...
