Programming Patterns. These tentative experiments lend support to the theories of Physicist Edmond Dewan, who was one of the first scientists to suggest that REM sleep serves to bring into play fundamental computer-like "programming" patterns of the mind. "In higher organisms," Dewan says, "the brain is continually reorganized to meet the organism's current needs." To San Francisco's Breger, the crucial integration of REM is possible because the outside world is cut off and "social constraints" are minimal. In short, says Breger, "if something comes up in your present life that makes you anxious, during your...
...MATTER OF J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER is a dramatization of the 1954 Atomic Energy Commission hearings on the security clearance of the renowned physicist. The testimony unfolds like an interminable dream; the play, rather than tingling with the anguish of a man torn between his country and his conscience, is merely misted over with sadness...
...less an authority than General David Shoup, retired Marine Corps Commandant and Medal of Honor winner, accuses the armed services of relishing war for the sake of self-aggrandizement, of making the U.S. "a militaristic and aggressive nation." Physicist Herbert York, former Pentagon chief of research, development and engineering, warns that Americans will face a "Frankenstein monster that could destroy us." Not only are military motives questioned, but military competence as well. The defense complex is indicted for being unable to develop weapons that work well enough, wasting money needed for civilian purposes, giving bad and dangerous advice...

Dissertation, however, is not drama; the play is as inert as a stone, and Joseph Wiseman as Oppenheimer is mannered and brittle...
