...FAUNE, JEUX (CBS). Claude Debussy is the father of modern music, and Pierre Boulez is one of France's leading musical experimenters. To hear how Boulez handles these familiar works is to be reminded of how radical they are. "Debussy inaugurated a new and extremely personal type of sonorous universe, new in color as well as in mobility," says Boulez. By simply trusting the new sounds instead of trying to force them into old melodic patterns, he has made his own revolution in the interpretation of Debussy. An important record...
Though he has always been a poetry buff, McCarthy only began writing his own about four years ago, as a "kind of escape." He will scribble a few lines in longhand at odd moments in planes or hotel rooms, then type them out at home and file them away in a looseleaf notebook. Knocking on McCarthy's door during this year's presidential campaign, Paul Gorman, one of his speechwriters, found that the candidate was too busy to talk.

Singer is young and attractive, and therein lies the original...
...Baltimore gets about 75,000 of these glands, mostly from pathologists exploring the skull in postmortem examinations. The agency supplies the Hopkins with extracts from the glands. It takes the hormone from 150 or more glands to treat one child for a year. For victims of the commonest type of dwarfism, achondroplasia, marked by short limbs, large heads and "scooped out" noses, no hormonal or other treatment is effective...
