...weeks ago, USIA rushed out a propaganda film called The Silent Majority. Those who had not seen it automatically assumed from the title that it was a partisan rebuttal to the antiwar march on Washington, and there were cries of foul. In fact, the film gives generally fair treatment to both sides...
...Manet On the Beach is also an unusual work: an important example of the artist's conversion, in midcareer, to the informal open-air painting now known as Impressionism. Painted during the summer of 1873 on the seacoast of Berck-sur-Mer, its lighter palette and sketchier treatment present a striking departure from the indoor lighting and carefully worked-up details of the earlier, sensational Le déjeuner sur I'hérbe-an outdoor scene painted in the studio. Even the Rousseau is a little offbeat, though the famous Sunday painter of imaginary jungles and deserts...
...massive manganese poisoning. But an imaginative, Greek-born investigator now working at the Brookhaven National Laboratory noted that some of the symptoms are similar and that the same part of the brain is involved in both conditions. Thanks to his astute observation and his persistence in trying a "discarded treatment, 2,000 or more parkinsonism patients in the U.S. are now enjoying the first effective drug treatment for the disorder. There is hope that after the research phase is finished, the benefits can be extended to hundreds of thousands more. (The number of victims of parkinsonism in the U.S. alone...
...World Health Organization assignment in Chile, Cotzias suspected that the brains of manganese-poisoned miners had suffered chemical changes. He tried a chemical treatment. "It proved to be wrong," says the ebullient and totally unabashed Cotzias. Working on the analogous symptoms in parkinsonism at Brookhaven, he tried another drug treatment. This involved efforts to raise the brain's content of melanin, the pigment in suntanned skin. "Wrong again!" declares Cotzias, with the energy of a small volcano. "The patient's skin got darker, but the tremor got worse...
...inequities which may exist in the present system. I am fully convinced that, if there are problems concerning wages for painters' helpers, they do not emerge from racist attitudes and that these men as well as Ernest May are susceptible to rational arguments for changes in policy. Abusive treatment and war games will not provoke much response from anybody who attempts to conscientiously deal with differing points of view. Regardless of what any individual may feel about Ernest May or any other member of the University, the treatment that the Dean received yesterday was inexcusable and inappropriate...
