...cheaply or rented for a couple rupees (20 cents) a day. In the foothills or mountains, however, the only way to get there is to walk. Most of the Himalayan area is cut off in summer as well as winter. This part of the country, still one of the remotest areas of the world, is about as hard to traverse today as it was for the early Tibetans on their way to the Valley of Nepal. Now as then there are, as Li Po wrote, "Myriad peaks and more valleys and nowhere a road...
Trying to understand the universe around them, some scientists have sought to unlock the secrets of the atoms and molecules that quite literally make up just about everything under the sun -and beyond it as well. Others have sought this understanding by peering into the remotest reaches of space. Both groups of explorers were recognized last week when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the 1974 Nobel Prizes for Chemistry and Physics. It gave the chemistry award to Professor Paul J. Flory, 64, of Stanford University, for his studies of macromole-cules, or large molecules. The physics prize...
Applause is a musical, I believe. Apparently everyone besides me who claims the remotest interest in theater already knows everything else about it, too, but at the moment I can't find anyone who fits this description. Even The Crimson's usually omnicompetent Arts Editor professes to know only that Lauren Bacall once appeared in it and that it was one of the few questions he couldn't answer when he appeared on "It's Academic" (of course, you have to take into account that that was in Chicago). At Leverett House...
...show has gone wrong with this musical. The score sticks in your ear like wax. The lyrics consist of ditties that a fifth-grader would not dare to pass in to his English teacher. The star (Kay Ballard) spins through her numbers like a treadless tank. She lacks the remotest trace of that sweetly enveloping maternal musk with which Gertrude Berg so winningly invested her creation, Molly Goldberg, in the vastly popular radio and TV serials spanning the years 1929-1954. Alan Arkin has directed the show the way a bartender jiggles a martini shaker, apparently hoping that agitation will...
...grown into a yearning for shaggy acres and a pileated woodpecker of one's own. People may even be having hallucinations about the wilds. In his latest collection of essays, Edward Hoagland, a Harvard graduate who has spent a lot of time in some of the remotest, greenest places in North America, writes that men still claim to have sightings of the mountain lion, or puma, a species just this side of extinction. Hoagland thinks he saw one in the Alberta Rockies. Whether he did or not, the truth is that the puma is still something...
