...last loped in Fiddler on the Roof, has a sort of toothy ingenuousness that gives Galileo an unfortunate puppy-dog quality. Topol misses the role's strength, both in character and intellect.

She is Limnologist Ruth Patrick, 67, a much-honored pioneer in the study of water pollution, who is now chairman of Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences. "She has done more to develop ideas about stream pollution and to bring such ideas forcibly before the world of industry than anyone now working," says Hutchinson. Indeed, Patrick played a key role in shaping the U.S.'s clean water act. Next month she will fulfill the Tyler...
