...development of serial techniques in Schoenberg and Webern, and gave exposure to the works of such post-serial experimenters as Edgar Varese and Olivier Messiaen. Soon younger composers-notably Hans Werner Henze and Pierre Boulez-began unveiling compositions of their own at the festival's semiprivate "workshop" concerts...
...Opatoshu contribute a pair of luridly overdrawn caricatures as the well-meaning parents who stand by helplessly while their son switches his ambitions from pharmacy to footlights. By contrast, Jose Ferrer and Elaine May seem almost drawn from life as the flamboyant impresario of a pass-the-hat theatrical workshop and his daffy Duse of a daughter. Their world of raucous flea-bitten theatrics seems, oddly enough, more wholesome than Mom's chicken soup...
...Obsolete Children." This happy nonsense was byplay at the museum's six-week summer workshop, the latest effort by Dr. Seuss, actually Theodor Seuss Geisel, to stir the imagination of children.

In the universities and in the National Institute of Dental Research, most of the focus is on periodontal disease, which actually claims three times as many teeth as do cavities when people are past 35. To date, the main preventive treatment has been regular cleaning to remove the bacteria-containing film and tartar. Within two years, several commercial firms may be marketing new anti-periodontal-disease products in the form of toothpastes and mouthwashes...
