...They step out of a Warhol movie, this rock and roll band. Pope Ondine and four Chelsea girls, Heavy Metal Kids fleeing the Nova Police. The drummer emerges from beyond a wall of amps, dreamily staring into space, slack-jawed and moronic; the bassist, his pasty skin framed by long dark lifeless hair, is a ringer for Mario Montez. Their new guitarist, the one discovered in a men's room, has powdered his face and lipsticked his already feminine mouth.

Stray Tails. Therein lies the key to the elegant experiment reported last week in Nature. Once the two strains of virus had finished raiding the bacteria, the experimenters dissolved their protein sheaths, exposing their raw DNA molecules (Step 1 in diagram). Next, the scientists heated the dissimilar DNA molecules, causing each double helix to unwind and separate into one lighter and one heavier strand. Taking only the heavier strand from each virus, the researchers placed them in the same test tube, reheated them and then cooled them slowly, a process that causes two chemically complementary strands of DNA to combine...
Nine out of ten complaints about noise in the U.S. cannot be handled by existing legislation, Baron claims. Few states and cities have restrictions on noise, and the Federal Government only last July took its first small step toward quiet.

Its recommendations include such specific-and belated-moves as a crackdown on rumbling trucks...
...farce obeys the laws of the standard caper film, but for every step forward there is a thunderous pratfall back. If the Mafia man gets his sweater caught on a fender, it is sure to unravel, revealing his shoulder holster. If the Brain keeps fish in an enormous tank, it is certain to shatter, drenching the occupants of the apartment below. If the robbery is meticulously planned, it is sure to collapse into a three-ringleader circus, with no one the winner-except the audience...
