Much of the impetus comes from the exotic costumes dreamed up by youth, and the watchword is "Do your own thing." The situation has traditional designers up tight. Old standard setters, like Balenciaga, have retired. Others, like Saint Laurent, reach for youth by focusing increasingly on less expensive ready-to-wear clothes. At 46, fatigued by the efforts that have kept him far ahead of other designers, Rudi Gernreich last week announced that he was taking a year off in order to refresh himself. Says Gernreich, who championed the new attitude all along: "I feel that a woman must...
...arteries inside the brain. But at the latest meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society, Dr. Sadek K. Hilal demonstrated a catheter with a magnetic tip that "swims" through small and tortuous arteries and can be guided to the exact spot that the radiologist or neurologist wants to reach...
...catheter is a thin tube of Silastic (silicone rubber). To reach the brain's remote fastnesses, a plastic sleeve is inserted in the carotid artery in the neck and the catheter is threaded through it. Earlier catheters were often stopped by friction and could not always be guided into the desired path at a junction or around sharp curves. The new model, developed in research at Manhattan's Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and at the Weizmann Institute in Israel, has a magnetic tip. This can be made to oscillate in different directions under the control of an external...
Peek at the Mirror. As gratifying as its own sales were, Detroit still peeked nervously in the rearview mirror at its foreign competitors, which have been accounting for about 10% of all U.S. sales. In fact, if it were not for a disturbing surge of imports, which will reach a sales level of well over 900,000 this year, a new auto-industry record would be merely an outside possibility rather than a virtual certainty. In any case, many of this year's buyers, whether they prefer U.S. or foreign models, plainly went into the market for the same...
Regrettably Zorba's music does not always reach the level of Prince's craftsmanship. John Kander and Fred Ebb, the composer and lyricist respectively, have still failed to produce the great score that their Flora the Red Menace and Cabaret hinted was on the way. While many of the numbers have uncommonly fine melodies and all are at least a notch above average musically, sometimes they add little to dramatic values clearly evident in the book and staging. Neither of Zorba's solos tell us much we don't already know about the character at the time of the songs...
