...happens to prefer Mozart himself, has an explanation of why the rats agreed with his musical tastes. Schoenberg, the father of serial music, wrote works of extraordinarily complex harmonies and rhythms; in behaviorist jargon, his music is dense with "information bits." Mozart used the traditional chromatic scale and a regular, readily identifiable beat. To a novice listener, and perhaps to a rat as well, Schoenberg may sound too cacophonic. Mozart might appeal to rats by the power of repetition, says Cross, as they gained an appreciative familiarity with his regular and repeated cadences...
Harvard's best chances for individual victories lie in the weight events, where it has four throwers who started during the regular season. Senior Captain Dick Benka will be a prime favorite in the shot put, an event he captured in the indoor IC4A's this winter, and might also enter the discus throw, an event in which he is only three inches shy of the University record...
...much too long, Cambodian Chief of State Norodom Sihanouk fretted over the addiction of his "petit peuple" to gambling.

Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger, who prefers to dine at the Schaumburg, has not maintained the custom...

He had been the grand dad of the group, and now--at 80--he was hospitalized with stomach cancer. Drag was a delightful little man, a creole who spoke little English that was intelligible, and a lot of creole French that no one understood but him. He had grown up--like many New Orleans jazzmen--in a French speaking family, and seemed to personify...
