Rogallo made minor modifications in his dust detector, the biologists supplied the egg, and the unborn chick's heartbeat registered strongly through its unbroken shell. As proof, Rogallo exhibited the live and healthy chick of a bobwhite quail whose incubation had been monitored but undisturbed. And, said Dr. Hartwig proudly, the Food and Drug Administration is completing the space-to-chick-to-man cycle: it is using Rogallo's sensor to study the effects of drugs on the heart...
...18th birthday of his daughter with an intimate party for 100. The 20-ft.-long, damask-covered buffet table was laden with baked Prague ham, Alpine trout stuffed with Iranian caviar, roast venison from the Black Forest, Texas rattlesnake meat, capon breasts and small partridges on toast, Stuttgart quail, alligator soup, Strasbourg pâté de foie gras and aged black Chinese eggs. For hors d'oeuvres there were salted jasmine flowers, candied silkworms, toasted grasshoppers and grilled African honeybee. The wines were Moët & Chandon champagne ('59 and '61) and reds and whites from...
...stockholder, Robert Beverley Evans of Grosse Pointe, Mich., cut a bigger figure as a socialite and sportsman than as an industrialist.

...Cambridge University Research Psychologist Margaret Vince had had the opportunity of knowing my grandmother, it would have saved her a great deal of time and expensive equipment in solving the problem of why all quail and poultry eggs hatch out on the same day, nay, the same hour as their siblings [May 27]. It is all very wonderful to know the embryo can "click" prior to hatching, but I am skeptical of the click's effectiveness in communicating the time of emergence. The latter is based entirely on the period of incubation, which is never begun by a smart...
...grunts of approval in Rome's Gallerie La Salita. He is Richard Serra, 27, whose credentials include a Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale and a Fulbright fellowship; he is currently deep in his zoo period. On exhibit were crude cages in which disport two turtles, two quail, a rabbit, a hen, two guinea pigs and a 97-lb. sow. The big pig oinks away as part of a work called Live Pig Cage I. "I'm not saying the pig is art or is not art," says the artist, "but she makes a form." Other goodies...
