...scare tactics keep the boys on their toes, and in the end, they make beautiful music together, pouring out the big, lush organ-like sound that is the maestro's trademark. While Stokowski's days as the glamour boy of the podium are behind him, the long slender hands still dance like birds when he conducts, the silver mane still shakes in splendid disarray, the great craggy profile still sparks a response. And as always, he still juggles the orchestra's seating arrangements to gain special effects, still edits Beethoven and Brahms to suit his own taste...

What is needed, says the A.M.A., is a thermometer that will not cause injury. But no U.S. manufacturer has yet produced a safer thermometer at an economic price. A safer design, used in Scandinavia, has a slender sensing tip, similar to the American, but then broadens out to a flat shank, thick enough to prevent too deep a penetration. The best the A.M.A. can suggest is that nurses and mothers be instructed in how to insert a thermometer correctly, and told never to leave a child or a debilitated patient alone with the thermometer in place...

...AURELE NICOLET, 40, Rampal's leading rival, last week started a ten-concert tour of Israel. A slender, clear-eyed man whose art is often touched with a quality of rapture, Nicolet is a poet of the flute who may well become its greatest virtuoso. While Rampal stands always a little aside from the piece he is playing, Nicolet knows how to yield to the music and enter more deeply into its being. Rampal is a magnificent mannerist, Nicolet the profounder stylist...

...Team. This arsenal of technical prowess is commanded by a slender wisp of a man (5 ft. 7 in., 148 Ibs.) with thinning grey hair, twinkling blue eyes, a Boston accent, and an almost embarrassing diffidence. Among strangers, Lockheed Chairman Gross will go far out of his way to avoid admitting that he heads one of the nation's largest industrial corporations.

Recently a famous European actress seated beside him at a Hollywood dinner party asked the inevitable "What do you do?" Replied Gross...
