...happen to think that methadone is an extraordinarily valuable drug," says longtime opioid researcher Gavril Pasternak, head of molecular pharmacology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

We have to do better in terms of educating physicians...
...Bill and Fleur's wedding, you may recall, was attacked by deatheaters. But this wedding night was uneventful - even the lights of the Druze and Arab villages twinkled benignly in the hills. At one point in the evening, a gregarious Lubavitcher named Shalom Pasternak, who sings in a band he created with my cousin called Kabbalah Dream Orchestra, was helping my cousin dispense shots of whisky and blessings to his friends and family.

In contrast to the refined Pasternak, the folksy Vysotsky, perennially restricted and harassed by the authorities, was as popular among ordinary Soviets as Elvis Presley...
...expects to get through this summer on donations, but, he says: "Come the fall, the entire archive just might have to go. The landlords have been nice enough, but the market is the market, and this apartment may yield a better rent." Prominent Russians, such as writer Yevgeny Pasternak, son of Boris Pasternak, and Irina Arkhipova, president of the International Music Union, have called upon the public to help, but no financial savior has yet emerged. "No memory survives without the material evidence," says Matsov, gravely...
