...year-old Messiaen won the coveted organist's job at La Trinite church in Paris, and later a teaching post at the conservatory. Today, he still gives composition classes and plays for weekly Mass, occasionally enlivening a service with a hair-raising, dissonant improvisation on the organ. In his spare time, he labors at a scholarly tome on the subtleties of rhythm, which he regards as "the primordial, perhaps the essential, part of music...

It must be added, however, that Literdrni Noviny and other Communist cultural periodicals in Czechoslovakia have been recently subjected to rather violent attacks by Communist leaders in Rude Pravo (Red Justice), daily organ of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.

This happens with any certainty only in the case of identical twins. For patients not so fortunate as to have an identical twin, the conferees agreed, the best source for a donated kidney is a brother or sister, with the mother next. The one-year survival rate for kidneys from close relatives, reported Dr. Joseph E. Murray of Boston's Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, is now 70%. For the patients themselves...
...wide application, said Dr. Kenneth Sell, organ transplantation will have to depend on organ banks, similar to the tissue bank he now maintains for the U.S. Navy at Bethesda, Md.

But another visionary suggestion is for a "living bank," in which organs from human cadavers might be implanted in baboons and stored in the animals until needed for transplants...
...being frozen should give it a stimulating boost. Last year predictions ran that it would be 50 years before a mammalian brain would be successfully frozen, but one was successfully frozen and thawed that very year (Nature, Oct. 15, 1966). Now you are saying that success with a human organ lies in the distant future. How distant...
