...more man learns about viruses, said the University of Minnesota's Epidemiologist Leonard M. Schuman, the more he has to learn about controlling them. And this circular motion has speeded up enormously. Up to 1947 only 60 viruses had been listed as causing disease in man, and a mere 20 of these singled out the human species as their prime prey.

And a single virus may touch off, in different people, symptoms ranging from a "cold," a "sore throat," or "fever" to paralytic polio.

...Stewart's piece resembles those modern compositions which somehow manage to be simultaneously dissonant and entirely inoffensive. The style draws on composers as disparate as Berg, Barber and William Schuman; there are also a few easily recognizable major triads. It is an odd work in some ways, since Mr. Stewart contrasts tense, massive climaxes with passages that are almost flip--the sly fillip of the flute at the very end, for instance. The opening is very attractive, with the theme (almost a twelve-tone row) announced softly by the low strings pizzicato to the accompaniment of saucy raps...
