...Though Marcuse claims to be basically Marxist, he has also fallen under attack in the Soviet Union, where the wave of European student revolutions has met with anything but comradely applause. In a fiercely worded attack on "werewolves" who are "blasphemously using Marx's name," the Russian party organ Pravda recently accused Marcuse of trying to "introduce confusion in the ranks of the fighters against the old world." In fact, Pravda has a good deal more than confusion to worry about: today's young rebels against the Establishment include in their targets the bureaucratic structure of Communist states...
...permission for heart removals. ∙∙∙ The day before the Sao Paulo transplant, Rio de Janeiro's Dr. Edson Teixeira implanted a pancreas in diabetic, ex-soccer-star -turned -government-official Arari Charbel Rios, 28. Rather than remove Rios' failing pancreas, Teixeira simply stitched the new organ, donated by a heart-attack victim, to his patient's duodenum-snugly against the old one. At the first sign of rejection, says Teixeira, he will simply snip the implant out and Rios will be back where he started-on insulin...
Last week, at Manhattan's Town Hall, Schickele presented his latest and most adventurous departure-a chamber-rock-jazz trio called The Open Window, made up of Schickele and Fellow Composers Robert Dennis and Stanley Walden. The group sang and played such instruments as electric piano, organ, bass clarinet and tambourine in a quirky kaleidoscope of their own songs (sample title: 4 a.m. June; The Sky Was Green). The result was a little like spinning a radio dial rapidly over stations that are broadcasting Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson and the Beatles: fascinating but somewhat dizzying. Though...
...achieve a dense, microtonal fabric of sound that would have made even Charles Ives envious. Though the Syn-Ket started out with the familiar blips, snaps and bee-swarming sounds usually associated with electronic music, it soon proved its special if not necessarily pleasing power with waves of organ-rich tones and descending spirals of patterned trills. "This was an adventure in sound," said Mehta later. "We must remember that when Petrouchka was first performed, it wasn't pleasing to the ears. The Syn-Ket has an immense future...
...CONTRAST, the highly-differentiated cells of more developed organisms are much more stable. Once a cell is programmed to fulfill a specific role, it will continue to do so. In this case continual messages to the cytoplasm are superfluous. Kafatos has been able to correlate stability and differentiation. He made this important discovery in a research project which began with an undergraduate, Julianne Reich '67, a former Bio 15 student now at the Medical School. The gland on the moth's face which produces large amounts of a single enzyme is an example of a highly differentiated organ. About...
