DEDICATED TO DOLPHY (Cambridge). "Jazz has evolved from a folk music into an art music," said Gunther Schuller, explaining the kind of atonal, far-out compositions that he, John Lewis, Harold Farberman and Bill Smith have written for this album. The results are cooler and more cerebral than those of Eric Dolphy, the late wild-blowing, note-bending alto saxophonist. But Bill Smith (on clarinet) and the other instrumentalists are first-rate, and the music, though it seldom swings, consistently sizzles...
...girls aided by the centers tend to develop a cooler and more mature attitude toward boys. Says one girl in Washington's Webster School: "I'll ask my boy friend what his plans are for the baby and me, and if he doesn't have any, it's goodbye, Roger." Whether or not a girl does marry the child's father-and relatively few do-she seems to emerge with a sounder sense of values, a conviction that the shame of unwed pregnancy is not the end of life. As one girl told center officials...
...more powerful than the Camaro (165 h.p. as compared with 140 h.p., though both offer optional 325-h.p. engines), will cost "a little more" than Camaro's $2,466 and come equipped with an inflatable spare tire that will save enough trunk space for an extra Scotch cooler. Called the Space-Saver, the spare takes up half as much room as an ordinary tire, can be inflated when needed with a Freon gas can. Developed by B. F. Goodrich, the minispare is guaranteed to last 1,000 miles, will retail at $32.80. Goodrich is also working on a tire...
...meteorologists concluded that it had been triggered by a temperature inversion, an atmospheric phenomenon that prevents normal circulation of air. Ordinarily, warm air rises from the earth into the colder regions above, carrying much of man's pollution with it. Occasionally, a layer of warmer air forms above cooler air near the ground; the inversion acts as a lid, preventing the pollutants at lower altitudes from rising and dispersing. Inversions are no novelty, but what happened at Donora shocked public-health officials into an awareness that such layers pose a deadly threat to an increasingly industrialized and pollutant-producing...
...when Argentine gendarmes suddenly strung up a barbed-wire fence where they thought the border should be. The Chileans reacted with predictable enthusiasm. The Argentine embassy in Santiago was stoned, Argentine flags were burned, and the national police went on full alert. There was even talk of war, but cooler heads prevailed, and once again voices on both sides called for another round of British arbitration...
