...thirty-two bar choruses full of technique and nothing else. I realize that it has a terrific commercial appeal: witness what Krupa's pyrotechnics did for the Goodman band three years ago. But at the same time, Krupa had something else on the ball, an intangible rhythmic sense that makes all the difference in the world between a good drummer and a lousy one. It's all right to play flash now and then. I get a lot of kicks out of a good technician like Ray McKinley when he takes off for twenty minutes while Will Bradley...
...evidence, he goes to the great apes, nearest kin to man. They show - and inherit - wide differences of personality. Gorillas like to thump their chests. Both gorillas and chimpanzees do crude dances and rhythmic poundings, but orangs and gibbons do not. By people who have studied them closely, gibbons are usually described as shy, gentle, amiable, affectionate. Gorillas are reserved, deliberate, discreet. Chimpanzees are lively, responsive, emotionally unstable. These temperamental differences are obviously not due to variations in the natural habitat, for animals born in captivity manifest them. Moreover, at this stage, differences between individual members of the same species...
Paced in musically broken stanza-sentences, the ode's complicated theme, about which many subsidiary thoughts and counter-thoughts are skillfully woven, develops with unique rhythmic clarity. Brown creates telling poetic figures, uses them interestingly, and achieves by so doing the communication of a soul-stirring idea in its emotional and intellectual entirety...
When Kamiya had seen with his own eyes the rhythmic throb of Physarum, a question leaped into his mind: "What is the horsepower, what is the amount of force involved?" To find out, he devised a new experiment. To perform it, he takes a little piece of the mold, works it into a sort of dumbbell shape-two blobs connected by a thin strand. He puts this into an air chamber divided into two compartments by a block of agar (marked C in the diagram). The two blobs, a and b, are in separate chambers but are connected...
...pressure in B is kept constant; in A, it can be raised or lowered at will. When the pressure is the same in both compartments, rhythmic streaming occurs normally through the strand. But by raising the air pressure in A, Kamiya can slow down and stop the flow of material from b to a. When the flow has stopped, he has balanced air pressure against the protoplasmic force. Thus, by noting the amount of the increased pressure, he measures the protoplasmic force...
