DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (MGM). A 110-piece symphony orchestra, reinforced with 24 balalaika players and a section of Japanese instruments including a samisen, a koto and a 6-ft. gong (valued at $3,000), plus organ, novachord, electric sonovox, harpsichord, electric piano, tack piano and zither, plays Maurice Jarre's Oscar-winning score. The variety of instruments would be more interesting if the listener could pick them out, but they all seem to play at once. One haunting tune, Lara's Theme, emerges-but just barely...
Each drug is designed to act upon a particular organ or upon particular tissues. But as Lieut. Colonel Robert H. Moser of the Army Medical Corps told a Palo Alto, Calif., symposium on "Diseases of Medical Progress": "We are inclined to forget that the drug is also in contact with other tissues. Effects in those areas are not immediately evident: subtle influences may be at work and may become manifest only later." Such long-range effects, Dr. Moser warned, may never be traced to the drug that caused them. "This is a shadow world of pathophysiology, where relation of cause...
...scare tactics keep the boys on their toes, and in the end, they make beautiful music together, pouring out the big, lush organ-like sound that is the maestro's trademark. While Stokowski's days as the glamour boy of the podium are behind him, the long slender hands still dance like birds when he conducts, the silver mane still shakes in splendid disarray, the great craggy profile still sparks a response. And as always, he still juggles the orchestra's seating arrangements to gain special effects, still edits Beethoven and Brahms to suit his own taste...
Although nontheistic, Ethical Culture has legal recognition as a religion. Its ministers, called leaders, conduct marriage and funeral services and preside at Sunday morning meetings, which blend organ preludes and thoughtful moral lectures on issues of the day. Most of them have a practical knowledge of what they speak. Jerome Nathanson, chairman of the Fraternity of Leaders, heads the New York Committee to Abolish Capital Punishment. Another leader, Algernon Black, is active in SANE and the Euthanasia Society of America...
Simulated Breakup. Sandia's next step, reports its house organ, Lab News, was to work out what had happened to the lost bomb. Had it broken apart in the air, or come down intact? Had it fallen freely to the land below, or been carried far out to sea on its parachute? To simulate a mid-air breakup, the scientists dropped bomb parts from a high-flying plane at White Sands Missile Range, then photographed the craters made by the parts as they hit the ground. The pictures were rushed to Palomares, where searchers looked in vain for similar...
