Robert Bell Reddick's Ten Walking Tours of Cambridge dismisses the building at 14 Plympton Street in about half a sentence, giving short shrift to its "neo-Georgian" design, and saying that Lampy's castle "puts to shame the Crimson Building." Harvard's semi-official book on it own architecture, Education, Bricks, and Mortar, doesn't mention the building at all, Newspaper buildings by and large are rough, functional structures, which serve a practical daily purpose and expedite the production of their publications. Few of them win architecture awards, and none of them can approach in grandeur the Lampoon...
...York City's Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Lawrence Gartner, director of the division of neo-natality, has found that methadone babies are generally less healthy than heroin babies, and are born with a greater incidence of respiratory distress and jaundice. "Their symptoms of withdrawal last longer and worsen progressively," he says. Gartner has recently discovered a rare and particularly ominous methadone problem. Five babies born at the college's affiliate, Abraham Jacobi Hospital, showed no withdrawal signs until between two and three weeks after birth, by which time the infant is usually away from constant medical...
...atmosphere of widespread public participation. West German voters this year for the first time discovered what Winner Brandt called "a new self-confidence." More of them voted than ever-91.2% of those eligible, v. 55% in the U.S. election-and they split their preferences more than ever before. The neo-Nazi National Democratic Party, as well as the far-left parties, got only a fraction of 1% of the vote. As Novelist Günter Grass, who campaigned for Brandt, put it, the election proved that Germans had overcome the scars of the Nazi past, which made them afraid...
Adding to the confusion is the recent discovery of evidence suggesting that Valpreda and his friends may be innocent. Last August district attorneys who were investigating other terrorist acts charged two neo-Fascists with the Milan bombing. A consignment of 50 clockwork timers, exactly like those used in the bombings, was traced to one of the suspects, a bookseller from Padua named Franco Freda. Furthermore, the briefcases in which the bombs were hidden were all purchased in a Padua store only a block from Freda's bookshop. Worst of all, it now appears that high-ranking police officials tried...
What gets lost in reducing a Greek tragedy to a demonic Pan-legend-a sort of Clockwork Orange run back through the time machine? Despite the passionate resourcefulness of Actor Cariou, this neo-Neanderthal Oedipus becomes an anachronism when sophisticated lines like "Wisdom is a mode of suffering" are delivered about his shaggy head, or when that barbaric stage is filled with the most subtle verbal portraits of pride in the history of theater...
