Afternoon Heat. While probing differences between wild-and factory-bred flies, Zoologist Guy L. Bush and Biochemist G. Barrie Kitto of the University of Texas, with Zoologist Raymond W. Neck of the Texas parks and wildlife department, found that the larvae were kept at an unnaturally constant, warm temperature, mainly to speed up growth. Also, young flies were unable to fly around much in their cages. Eventually, the researchers write in Science, a markedly different strain emerged. No longer as vigorous, the male does not become active until the heat of afternoon, whereas his wild brethren are busy impregnating females...
...first time in the 18 years since Charles de Gaulle's Fifth Republic swept to power, his followers no longer controlled the premiership in France. Giscard handed on the title to a highly respected but apolitical economist, Raymond Barre, thus making it clear that the President intended to keep all the reins of power firmly in his own hands. That was quite in keeping with the tradition of the Gaullist "presidential regime." But Giscard could count on unflagging support only from the 121 members of his tiny Independent Republican Party and its centrist allies, while the Gaullists still control...

...company is celebrating its 20th season as one of the country's most prestigious producers of summer festivals. Its approach meshes old-fashioned craftsmanship with contemporary dash. British Director Peter Wood, who recently worked on the Tony-winning play Travesties, staged the opera as an exuberant parade. Conductor Raymond Leppard, a specialist in 17th century music, was an adventurous choice to lead the orchestra. He responded enthusiastically, adding an overture and some instrumentation of his own devising. Singing the part of Susan B. Anthony is Mignon Dunn, who claims she knows every mezzo and contralto role in Wagner...
...Raymond was released in 1970, but soon afterward charged with murder. His alibi was that on the night of the crime he was dining and discussing "the law in general" at London's Gay Hussar restaurant with none other than Driberg, current Labor Party House Leader Michael Foot, and the latter's brother, Sir Dingle Foot, a former Solicitor General in the Labor government. Raymond was acquitted of the murder, but received three years in prison for impeding the arrest of a criminal. In 1972 he skipped from Dartmoor prison while on a home leave and was later...
