...wooden bannisters in Sever's concourse are the slickest and longest at Harvard, and any student sophomoric enough to slide down between classes will surely make a bang, even if he or she doesn't crash through the glass doors. Matthews Hall and the Science Center have challenging and steep bannisters that should test the mettle of any slider who looks over the edge to the chasm below...
...Heifetz: Sibelius: Concerto in D Minor (plus Tchaikovsky: Concerto in D Major) (London Philharmonic Orchestra; Seraphim; $3.98). Heifetz's emotional impact remains undiminished over nearly four decades. His playing is dictated by the mind, not the fingers. Sweeping all technical obstacles out of the way-the double stops, steep runs and three-octave leaps of the Sibelius-he makes sense of it all, minimizing the acrobatics and revealing the music's architecture...
Higher office rents, the mounting costs of equipment and rising wages for office personnel are all contributing to the increasingly steep price that doctors everywhere must pay to practice their profession.

Premiums for malpractice insurance-which almost every physician carries to protect himself against lawsuits by his patients-rose by a whopping 93.5%. The increase will make the state's doctors pay the highest average malpractice rates in the nation and could have an enormous influence upon the way medicine is practiced...

He immediately took evasive action, putting the giant jet through a series of sharp turns and steep banks while radioing the Damascus control tower for help. Assured that the fighters were on a friendly- though unannounced- escort mission, Colonel Albertazzie landed the President in Syria for his meetings with the leaders of a nation that has been bitterly anti-American as well as anti-Israeli...
