...disco. Disco never got much of a press, except from people like Time; Rolling Stone ran a disco issue at the insistence of publisher Jann Wenner, who Jagger once described to Chet Flippo as "that cunt of a boss of yours," but it went over like a suckling pig at Passover. Rock critics have always worn their contempt for disco as a sort of cachet of superior taste, and it's always seemed more than a little unfair, particularly because: a) disco is the state-of-the-art in Black music, and there are no Black New Wave bands...

...U.S.S.R. has moved ahead of the rest of the world in the production of steel, pig iron and cement. It ranks second in the manufacture of aluminum as well as the extraction of gold ?the two metals that respectively symbolize the modern and the primitive strengths of an economy. The Soviet Union's farms produce more barley, cotton fiber, wheat, oats and rye than those of any other country and?an incongruous sweet touch ?more sugar and honey. Huge petroleum reserves, second only to those of Saudi Arabia, have made the country self-sufficient in energy, although that...

...overcome. Also, though all vertebrate animals produce IF, it seems to be species specific, meaning that it works only in the type of animal that produces it. Monkey interferon works only in monkeys, mouse in mice and human in humans. Thus, unlike the insulin extracted from cattle and pig glands and used by humans, IF harvested from animals does not work in people. Lindenmann continued working with IF for about three years, but then left it, believing its puzzles could best be worked out by biochemists. "I spared myself years of frustration," he says. Most of his colleagues, aware...

Arts on the Line suffers the flaws inherent in any guinea pig planning project, and formidable economic and bureaucratic obstacles promise to bog down subsequent programs elsewhere. Yet there is something contagiously exciting about relating Art to Life. I'd like to be around when this funky new stuff gets moved into the T stops. I can't say I'd want to stare at those cows every day, but these people are on to something...
