Then, one by one, they cited statistics demonstrating that the best-laid plans of Mao's men have gone agley...
More than a dozen assorted medical specialists worked on the cases, came to the unanimous conclusion that there had been connections between the placental blood vessels in each pair of twins during gestation. Blood cells in both men contained certain knobs (known as drumsticks, because of shape) usually found only in females. When chimerism occurs in cattle, the female is sterile-a freemartin. Mrs. McK. and Mrs. W. have each had three children, so human chimeras are not freemartins. Despite their originating from separate eggs, they may enjoy at least one of the advantages of identical (one-egg) twins: skin...

Jack Levine's "The Judge" (see cut at right) won the Grand Prize It is indeed a masterly work, executed in splotches of restrained browns and dull white that take shape only at a distance. Other exceptional works were George Grosz's "Night-mare," Mitchell Siporin's "The Gallery," and Max Weber's "Flute Player." William Kienbush received honorable mention for his competent "Coast of Baker Island." The sculpture choices, however, were poor on the whole; Isamu Noguchi's "The Ring...
