When Daniel Patrick Moynihan was named the new American Ambassador to the U.N. three months ago, some diplomats braced themselves for the arrival of a real ogre. It was Moynihan, after all, who, having just wound up a two-year tour as U.S. Ambassador to India, wrote a controversial article urging the U.S. to quit kowtowing to the Third World. Instead of apologizing for America's "imperfect democracy," he said, the U.S. should take a tough stand toward the new nations, especially their tendency to band together with the Communist countries in anti-Western positions...
When a child's fingertip is sliced off or smashed in a car door, most doctors sew up the wound or attempt to reconstruct the digit. But the best treatment for such injuries may be none at all.

Once Ruffian was trucked to the equine hospital behind the Belmont track, Dr. Reed removed bone chips, repaired some of the ripped ligaments, flushed the wound with antibiotics and saline solutions and inserted drains. Then Dr. Edward C. Keefer, an orthopedist, put on a cast and special...
...company's willingness to take War and Peace for what it is and never what it is not. It is an epic; but unlike the heroes of Verdi or Wagner, Napoleon and Kutuzov never meet face to face, nor do we ever see Andrei suffer his fatal wound, nor can Natasha save him. But although War and Peace is no lyric drama, Prokofiev is capable of remarkably delicate touches, like the soft rasping of strings that evoke the delirium of Andrei's death scene...
