...players. Nils Vigeland's talent, taste and personality make him the most exciting musical force at Harvard. Given any kind of support by his orchestra he will provide an extraordinary season of unusual works. Only one familiar piece is in the first program of Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Schumann, and Wolf. While the HRO has abolished soloists, the Bach Society will use them in every program. A special American Music concert will feature student compositions. But the real "jump off the deep end" (in Vigeland's words) will be a complete Stravinsky Pulcinella in January...
Freezing Blood. At a recent meeting of the American Association of Blood Banks in Chicago, Dr. Paul Wolf of Stanford University and Dr. Robert Nalbandian of Blodgett Memorial Hospital in Grand Rapids, announced their success after three years of experiments. They emphasized that they had built on the pioneering studies of Makio Murayama of the National Institutes of Health. Murayama observed that abnormal cells, which carry sickle-producing hemoglobin S, gel at normal body temperature when oxygen content is reduced, then return to normal...
Working in cooperation with other researchers, Wolf and Nalbandian discovered chemicals that would react to hemoglobin S and other less harmful sickling substances, making a quick screening test possible. A small blood sample is dropped into a tube containing a solution of potassium phosphate, sodium dithionite and saponin. Clouding of the solution is a danger signal but does not specifically identify hemoglobin S. If the first round arouses suspicion, a second test, also based on Murayama's work, is performed immediately. Urea, a natural waste substance produced by the normal liver, breaks some molecular bonds in abnormal hemoglobin. When...
Neglected Ailment. The Wolf-Nalbandian tests do not distinguish between those who merely carry the sickle-cell trait and those actually affected by the disease. But they do provide a fast, inexpensive method of finding individuals who should get further attention. In an experimental program at Fort Knox, Ky., doctors tested 7,000 black soldiers, 94 of whom were found to carry hemoglobin S. Two of these soldiers actually had sickle-cell anemia...
Songs by Hugo Wolf (Seraphim; $2.98). A single LP made from off-the-air tapes of one of Soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's finest and most famous hours as a lieder singer- her recital in the Salzburg Mozarteum on Aug. 12, 1953. Words and melody blend the way they do partly because of her eminent piano accompanist, Wilhelm Furtwangler, who on this record plays the way he usually conducted: rounding phrases majestically, seeing to it that voice and instrument are blended perfectly...
