Mississippi-born Composer Still's music has a homespun quality, but it is as varied as his own background of Scottish, Irish, American Indian and Negro ancestors. He tries to avoid repeating himself ("after all, an architect wouldn't want to design the same kind of house all the time").

As chief of FAO since 1945, he has pleaded for governments to stop building armaments and use their money to halt erosion.

A psychosomatic (mindbody) medicine man, he has come forth with a diagnosis that might not surprise Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr or Historian Arnold J. Toynbee: modern society is a very sick patient. The disease: an ailing mind. Dr. Halliday's findings are published this week in Psychosocial Medicine: A Study of the Sick Society (Norton...
