Like the Music Hall itself, Radio City's annual holiday show has been given a grand sprucing up. Worn-out numbers have been retired, classics (Parade of the Wooden Soldiers) polished bright as a Christmas-tree ball, and sprightly new scenes added (White Christmas in New York). A revamped Santa's Workshop is riotously colorful. Santa couldn't ask for an escort with more dash than the Rockette reindeer team that prances at the head of his sleigh, and audiences couldn't hope for a more splendiferous Christmas present...

That grim outlook may be about to change. Scientists have been experimenting with a new way--based on a form of gene therapy--to coax the heart into growing new blood vessels to replace old worn-out ones, and doctors who have been performing the procedure are becoming more and more excited by the results. Reports of their progress have spread through the scientific community for the past year. But not until last week, when the leading researchers gathered in Atlanta at a brainstorming meeting to which TIME was given exclusive access, did it become clear how far they have...
Between the worn-out trailers and the HUD homes on the St. Regis Mohawk reservation sits an incongruous stretch of newly built mansions. From his patrol car, Wesley Benedict, the tribal police chief, points out a red brick palazzo and a white gabled mansion. "Most of those are built with smuggling money," he says.

And what that churned up is seen in the show's kaleidoscope of imagery, ranging from a full-size mannequin of a rather worn-looking camel by Nancy Graves through documentary photos of Chris Burden after a self-inflicted gun wound to a film of Robert Smithson running along the rocky ground of his massive and most famous earthwork, Spiral Jetty (1970), which juts into Utah's Great Salt Lake...
