Strauss: Die Fledermaus (Hilde Gueden, Erika Köth, Regina Resnik, Giuseppe Zampiere; the Vienna Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan; London, 3 LPs). This otherwise fine recording of the imperishable operetta classic offers a strange side effect. One moment, the listener is tapping his feet to the most tap-pable of old Viennese waltzes; the next, he is caught up in the English rhymes of I Could Have Danced All Night, sung by Birgit Nilsson, of all people, in ponderous and chesty style. In the midst of the second act party scene, the producers have inserted anachronistic "entertainments" sung...
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 9 (London Symphony, under Sir Malcolm Sargent; Everest). A first stereo recording of one of the most ebullient, eccentric and delightful of Shostakovich's works. When the composer's orchestra-raucous, slapdash and happy-moves into battle, the effect is of a regiment under fluttering pennons posting to the attack...

On signal from the earth an electric current can be shunted through the wire. This will modify the effect of the earth's magnetism and should keep the satellite's axis pointing properly...
...scientific answer: it is probably seeking the company of other chickens, and if it is a young chicken, this sociability indicates that it was raised with other chickens around. These are the findings reported by University of Maine Psychologists Alan Baron and George B. Kish, who measured the effect of early isolation on chicken behavior. They hatched 30 chicks in a dark incubator. Ten chicks were then moved to individual cubicles, getting no chance to see one another. Ten more were cooped in pairs, and the remaining ten were kept together as a small, sociable flock...
