...your "bright spectrum" are bright, and some scientists are making from 10,000 to 20,000 bucks a year, but that is because of the vast army of small, dark, unknown plodders in U.S. science (like myself) whose salary plus commissions, etc. runs between $5,000 and $10,000 a year (mine: $6,000), and plenty of them get less than that...
...Kennedy. Jack jumped up. "By God," cried he, "if Georgia will vote for me, I must have a chance. I'll go for it." Kennedys scurried all over Chicago, but it was of necessity a disorganized effort; e.g., at about 1:30 a.m., someone said a man, name unknown, had been cooling his heels for ten minutes waiting to see Kennedy. It turned out to be New York's Tammany Boss Carmine De Sapio, with more than 90 big delegate votes in his hip pocket...
...left Iowa City's University Hospital last week and boarded planes to carry them to their homes in the South. Each walked with a fast, short-stepped gait ("festination") and had a marked tremor on his left side.

For the first time, after more than five years of helplessness, each could write legibly and feed himself an in-flight meal. This improvement in a disease bafflingly...
...most popular debutantes were giving a dance that night. Despite major obstacles-including a Texas chorus that had a lot of trouble learning to sing in Italian-the production turned out to be topnotch, with bright sets, smooth and funny staging. The cast, mostly imported and mostly unknown in the U.S. (except for brilliant Mezzo-Soprano Giulietta Simionato). had been so ably picked by Impresario Kelly that the total effect surpassed the Met's memorable Don Pasquale, something of a standard for opera buffa. Said one opera veteran: "As of today, Dallas is on the map as an opera...
Star cellists are a lot rarer than piano or violin virtuosos. A brilliant and (to the West) virtually unknown cellist made an appearance in East Berlin last week that left listeners surprised and breathless. Soviet Russia's Daniel Shafran, 34, turned out to be a sometime prodigy (the Soviets bought him his Amati cello when he was only 14) who today may have no equal among the younger generation of cellists...
