...laboratory in a cornfield outside Moscow, Lysenko gets every facility and encouragement. He goes right on trying to change nature in far-out ways by grafting pine branches on fir trees, injecting the blood of Plymouth Rock chickens into Buff Orpington hens, trying to turn wheat into rye. He complains righteously against Science Academy President Aleksandr Nesmeyanov (TIME cover, June 2, 1958) for criticizing his experiments. Says he pointedly: "I am infinitely happy that my modest work is highly prized by the party government and Nikita Khrushchev in person...
Brown Study. At 45, Franz Josef Strauss is a brawny, brawling bull of a Bavarian who symbolizes the unsettling vitality of the new Germany.

Promptly at 9:15 p.m. last week, the members of the Concert Guild String Quartet appeared at the restaurant in white tie and tails and launched into an hour-long program of Schubert's Quartet in A Minor and Mozart...
Until the musicales started, the restaurant was losing some $4,000 a month. Now the place is prospering. La Pine-O'Neill have found that they can pack their restaurant not only by playing the music of the masters but also with modernist works of such composers as Irving Fine and Gunther Schuller. Next: Menotti's 30-minute opera The Telephone. The musicians find the whole thing relaxing, and countless bourbon drinkers have told O'Neill that they have never heard Beethoven in quite so clear a tone...
