Visiting Moscow in April, Kennedy saw Brezhnev and asked him to permit Slava to perform in America. Shortly thereafter, the Rostropovich family was given passports. In 1974 Slava went to Harvard to receive an honorary degree. There he saw Felicia, threw himself to his knees and kissed the hem of her dress. To show his gratitude to the Kennedy family, Rostropovich offered to train their son Teddy in the cello...
...fourth floor of the Biological Laboratories will be ready for safety inspection. At about the same time these labs will be undergoing investigation, two even more sophisticated laboratories in Bethesda, Md., and Fort Dixon, Texas, idle since biological warfare research was banned in 1971, will reopen to perform similar, but potentially more dangerous, experiments to introduce and mix unrelated bacterial genes. Citizens in Amherst, Mass., have just begun a fight similar to the one Cambridge citizens waged last year to stop construction of P-3 laboratories for DNA research in Cambridge, while scientists at MIT and the University of Southern...
Scientists would rather not go slow, however. And the discovery made last spring by a group of scientists in California involving a new gene for producing insulin angered a group of Harvard scientists who were working on the same project but who lacked the facilities to perform similar experiments, illustrating the competitive nature of the field. Scientists in the Harvard laboratories uttered bitter sentences when asked for a response to the California discovery. "The only reason we couldn't get those results was because we didn't have a P-3 facility to clone the gene," one scientist said, adding...
...Diamonds" and "Pinball Wizard," the latter made for the still trashier film Tommy, itself a pathetic re-working of The Who's rock opera. Elton John's name did nothing for these ghosts from the past except make them sell. The originals were much better. Elton's willingness to perform them only showed that his fire was burning out. "Island Girl," an original, was among the most annoying of AM radio's most played tunes. "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," a vapid, iivv number Elton recorded with Kiki Dee, starts nowhere and goes nowhere but takes up four minutes...
...leave the Episcopal Church. To become bishops in apostolic succession, however, Mote and other candidates from the new church must be consecrated by three recognized bishops. During the past year the movement has approached 15 Episcopal bishops for help. Though he refuses to say so, Chambers is willing to perform consecrations, and TIME learned last week that at least two other Episcopal bishops are now willing to join him. When they do, the schism will become a reality...
