...broad spectrum of originality in new American musical compositions ranges from anarchic esotericism on the left to immediately apprehensible banality on the right. Works at both extremes tend to become entertainments only remotely related to serious music. The world premiere Friday and Saturday at Kresge Auditorium of Command Performance by Robert Middleton and Harold Smith added another piece to the repertoire of the right...
Where these infectious molecules might come from and what might trigger them into activity at unpredictable times are still mysteries. Perhaps they are inherited, and lie dormant for decades. This would go far to explain why some cancers, though not hereditary in the ordinary sense, tend to run in families.

An adman in Germany may boast that his client's soap washes white-but not whiter or whitest. Thus Y. & R. could not advertise that Remington shavers "have...
