...Real. Some people who evince little or no vocal or visible reaction when they are obviously hurt say they have a high threshold for pain. Many more, who do not try to suppress their feelings, admit to having a low threshold. There is no physiological evidence of any differences in the pain sensors and therefore in the basic pain sensations in these two groups. Whatever differences there are apparently exist entirely in the emotional reactions. These also vary with cultural attitudes. The stoicism of the American Indian and the Chinese is proverbial, although ethnic variations in sensitivity have not been...
...work that way," says Crue. "It comes and goes, with a few exceptions such as some cases of cancer. Nearly all the rest of the pain that patients call 'constant' or 'unremitting' is psychological." This is not to say that such pain is not "real." Most medical authorities now agree with Sternbach, who says: "Excluding the malingerer, who by definition is a deliberate faker, all pain is real." It does no good for a doctor to say "It's all in your mind." The important thing for the pain-relieving physician...
Some critics of American orchestral life contend that the real trouble is that the symphony has been for too long a plaything of the wealthy. Even though symphony-going is not dominated by the rich to the extent that it was 40 years ago, it is still a formal experience that most turned-on youth regard as static, outmoded and irrelevant.

This does...
Boston Symphony Music Director Erich Leinsdorf insists that "the real crisis is musical, and it can only be solved musically. For over two decades there has been an increasing interest in baroque music. The orchestras have done nothing about it. There is a growing interest in avant-garde music. Nothing is being done." No one objects to preserving the masterpieces of the past, as a museum keeps Rembrandts. But some musical experts feel that there may be more orchestral museums than are needed. English Conductor Colin Davis, 41, a strong possibility to head either the New York Philharmonic...
Extra Ear. Of all the grotesque artists at work today, perhaps the ones with the soundest and most logical reasons for being angry at the world are Vienna's five "Fantastic Realists": Rudolf Hausner, Erich Brauer, Ernst Fuchs, Wolfgang Mutter, Anton Lehmden. All underwent the real enough traumas of World War II. By what may or may not be coincidence, their admirably precise diableries are also gentler, more conventional, more philosophical, more ethereal than their American counterparts'. Though all are firmly established in their native Vienna, none had made much of a splash elsewhere until London...
