...QUARTET AND VIOLA (3 LPs; Columbia). In his later years, Mozart liked to play the viola; so he added a darker color to the string quartet by doubling the viola's voice. The five late quintets contain, besides the expected felicitous melodies, melting modulations and sprightly symmetries, some rich polyphony and dramatic interchanges. Walter Trampler brings his viola to the Budapest String Quartet, which is constantly updating its repertory to take advantage of improved recording techniques. This is their third recording of the quintets; they can stop...
...mastering grantsmanship is picking a field that the grant givers consider hot. "I've developed the golden touch," admits a former Justice Department consultant now on the University of Mississippi faculty. "I can get $100,000 with half an hour on the phone to Washington-I can get rich fighting poverty." Studies of water and air pollution are also big this year, as is any application of computers to human affairs (at Stanford alone there are seven major projects in computer-assisted teaching). There is always plenty of money available from almost any foundation for cardiac disease and cancer...

Half of the world's people are undernourished, and their most crippling deficiency is in protein, the basic building block of the human body. Its lack causes mental retardation, stunted growth, early death. Now U.S. industry and Government scientists have developed an inexpensive food supplement rich in protein. It is a "flour" made by grinding up whole fish, and Interior Secretary Stewart Udall reports that it can restore balance to the diet at a daily cost of only half a cent per person. U.S. fisheries alone, he adds, can produce enough of the raw material to meet the needs...
...penalty if the government does not aid prep schools as Dean Sizer wishes? They may have to increase tuition. The time is long past when the nation can cry over potential hardships to the rich. But the time is ripe to aid education where aid is truly needed, and that need lies far from the soccer fields or our "independent" schools. Peter C. Poole...
