Jubilation Shouts. Meanwhile, the rhythm-&-blues strain was picking up new momentum, while post-Beatle rock charged off on its own creative path. The man who gave R & B its fresh thrust was a blind, Georgia-born bard named Ray Charles, one of the most hauntingly effective and versatile Negro singers in the history of pop music...
...researchers are beginning to wonder if the preservative cannot also be used to prolong the life of man. That possibility is suggested by Biochemist Denham Harman of the University of Nebraska medical school. With regular feedings of BHT, he was able to lengthen the life span of a strain of laboratory mice by 50%. "In human terms," says Harman, "this is equivalent to increasing life expectancy from 70 years to 105 years...

With an incisive and lively style, DeYoung's fast-moving argument is more speculative than conclusive, but convincing just the same. In contrast, Jacob Egan '68 does a longer, deeper, more confined analysis in a Dickens study, "Reification and the Rhetoric of Nature in Bleak House"--the longest piece in Bogus. The texture is as academic as the title, and requires thesis-grading frame...
