Linguistic Theory as an Aid to Invention

ONE CANNOT WRITE a linguistic theory as such, or at least one would not want to. The analogy of painting by numbers comes to mind: by suggests that the writer or painter is a mere mediator, not originator, that his contribution is only the mechanical execution of a design formed by someone else. Nevertheless we recognize that some of the qualities of original composition can be systematically sought out. We learn to ask ourselves questions about the role or voice we want to assume for

Copland on the Serial Road: An Analysis of Connotations

WHILE IT CAN NOT be denied that postwar revival of interest in serial organization served as no more than a springboard to European avant-garde, it may well be argued that most impressive products of that revival are to be found in work of an older generation, fully formed in its musical ways before universality of Schoenberg's legacy was yet suspected.1 There is no place here for talk of conversions, since dominating impression created by serial works concerned is of composers' reaffirmation of their most characteristic ideals. Dallapiccola's has been most systematic and leisurely embracing of serial potentialities, Stravinsky's most notorious; both men have revealed still deeper implications of method for their own style with each successive score. When Copland's Piano Quartet (1950) and Piano Fantasy (1955-57), essays in a tentative serialism which I have discussed elsewhere,2 were followed in 1960 by Nonet, a work on which serialism has left no more than faint traces, it was possible, if to some listeners disappointing, to conclude that composer had settled down to that nodding acquaintance with dodecatonic ways of thinking that has sufficed for such a composer as Martin. Yet, Copland's other activities in recent years should have hinted how fundamental has become his involvement in serial attitude to musical material: his orchestration of 1930 Piano Variations points up remarkable parallels between these gaunt early-Copland procedures and method of construction from segments of a tone row. At much same time, Copland revised 1929 Symphonic Ode, a work which strove to achieve palpable unity across a single arch embracing sharply contrasted moods. The same ideal lay behind Piano Fantasy, a quarter of a century later; but row could now play a vital role in unifying process. And now, with Connotations, we can see these varied strands of Copland's thought drawn together in a work which, while assimilating experience of three earlier scores, at same time takes his exploration of serial consequences further than ever before. In program notes written for concert performances of Connotations, composer pointed to primary meaning of new work as summed up in three four-voiced chords heard at outset (Ex. 1); from this charting of area of exploration, the subsequent treatment seeks out other implications-connotations that come in a flash or connotations that composer himself may only gradually uncover. This presentation of basic set in harmonic conflations means, clearly enough, that there may be drawn from it innumerable melodic lines (by permutations within three segments) which will still refer to a single source

The Surprises in Somerset Maugham

"I CANNOT bring myself to judge my fellows," Somerset Maugham writes in The Summing Up, the review of his own long literary career. "I am quite content to observe them." He is decidedly averse to "preaching"-in other words, to a literature of ideas. He has made a creative principle of the observer's position in literature. If we are to believe him, Maugham has never passed judgment on people for what is evil in them and never praised the good. He has tried to remain dispassionate and objective, persistently cultivating the quality of tolerance-a virtue which suggests, if not insensibility, at any rate a certain lukewarm quality. With characteristic candor Maugham admits that human beings interest him only insofar as they furnish material for his work. It would seem therefore that he collects characters as the stamp collector collects postage stamps. Thus Maugham has long had the reputation of an astute, ironic and unerring master of his art, a gentleman writer who with a certain aloofness and indulgence takes stock of the vicissitudes of his fellow men.

Quantitative Immuno-Analysis in Gel Plates

I CANNOT let pass unchallenged certain assertions made by Wright1 in his communication in Nature of May 2, 1959, with reference to my method for quantitative immuno-analysis in agar gel plates2. Dr. Wright states: “Although there are several methods available, none of them is easily applicable to a multi-antigenic system, and in addition the concentrations of the proteins can only be estimated separately, even under favourable conditions, at ±10 per cent and more usually ±50 per cent”.

Palpation of stapes for fixation; preliminary procedure to determine fenestration suitability in otosclerosis.

ONE CANNOT determine with absolute certainty if the stapes is completely fixed by any method except palpation of it with a probe during the fenestration operation. Pure-tone and speech audiometry tests have increased knowledge and predictability as to the result to be expected following fenestration for otosclerosis. The knowledge gained from these tests, however, is inferential and therefore limited as regards the degree of stapedial fixation present (partial or complete). Palpating the stapes to and fro, however, gives direct, firsthand sensory experience because one can see and feel the degree of mobility or its complete fixation. Such direct experimental knowledge is more reliable than the inferential diagnosis obtained by audiometry tests. A completely fixed stapes is pathognomonic of an otosclerosis condition which is ideal for treatment by fenestration, provided always that good cochlear nerve function is present. A partially fixed stapes in otosclerosis may not be as ideal for treatment

Management of recent nasal fractures.

ONE CANNOT do a number of rhinoplasties without being forced to question the soundness of the management of recent nasal fractures. We believe that many difficult nasal reconstructions, tedious submucous resections, and extensive scar excisions could have been avoided had the proper treatment been instituted at the time of injury. Since the main respiratory current passes just beneath the dorsal arch, 1 and the nasal skeleton is practically subcutaneous, 2 even slight malalinements resulting from inaccuracies in reduction, such as unlocked fragments of bone, displaced spicules, or overriding bone edges—considered negligible in most fractures —may here cause serious impairment of function and conspicuous deformity. 3 Through sad experience we have learned that to attempt a correction by blind reduction, using force in reverse of that which caused the fracture, often serves merely to aggravate the damage. 4 For instance, in fractures with lateral deviations, force applied to the side of

Men of two worlds.

I CANNOT tell you what pleasure it has given me to exchange the gloom and fog of a London winter for the sparkling sun of Southern California and, in place of the colleagues with whom I have been examining for the last four weeks in the finals of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, to find myself once more in that spirit of warm hospitality and overflowing enthusiasm that characterizes the surgeons of America. It is still a matter of wonder that this tremendous transformation in time, place and circumstance can be brought about in the space of four days. The transatlantic flight produces a liberation of the spirit that is not experienced in any form of surface travel or even in air journeys over land routes. Traveling for a few hours at a speed and a height at which life would be impossible were it

Safety in substation design

IT CANNOT be emphasized too strongly that safety must be designed into substation structures and equipment installations. It is believed that many tragic accidents which have occurred in substations had their inception when unnecessary hazards were built into the stations. The combination of an unsafe condition and an unsafe act usually results in a personal injury and is generally recorded as a careless act on the part of the injured. Investigations have revealed many contributing factors in the occurrence of accidents.

The Nature of Time

I CANNOT accept Prof. Campbell's criticism, which seems to me to be inconsistent. Apparently he holds that the time of an event is, by definition,a dial reading (“Fundamentally its nature is that of a dial reading”: “the scale readings are the times”). He agrees, however, that “the time distortion cannot be exhibited experimentally”. Hence there is no evidence for a change of dial reading (that is, of that which by definition is the time). What, then, is this “time distortion” which he accepts?

"The Relativity of Time"

I CANNOT agree with Mr. Newman that an instrument which measures time in terms of the mass of fallen sand is not a clock. If such an instrument is passed by a recognized observatory, I should be glad to know on what authority Mr. Newman would reject it. If it is accepted, then the mass must be measured, directly or indirectly, whenever it is used, whether moving or at rest. A consideration of what an observer would see on a dial is not sufficient to determine such a measurement, as perhaps the following example will show most convincingly. Suppose we wish to find how mass varies with velocity. Insert a body in an apparatus which indicates its mass by a pointer reading on a dial. Now recede from the apparatus with velocity, v. So long as the dial can be seen its reading will, clearly, appear the same. Hence if Mr. Newman is right, mass is invariant. It is not “equally legitimate to read a measuring rod by counting its divisions or weighing a piece of it”, because the standard of space measurement in physics is defined as the length, and not the weight, between two fixed marks.

Research and Teaching in Universities

I CANNOT pass unchallenged the remark quoted from Dr. R. Coulborn's article in the Nineteenth Century of July in NATURE of August 22 (p. 304), namely, ” the numbing influence of research upon character”. This is surely not only untrue but also dangerous. In my experience, the contact with a research problem has proved to be a fine training for a young man, as it provides just the stimulus needed to convert his mind from the text-book outlook upon life to the realities. If it be numbing to teach him proper humility and the scope of his actual knowledge, then let us have more of such refrigeration. Of course, he is not so likely to deal comfortably in future with the vague and foggy generalities which so often pass for a wide humanistic outlook. Any professionalism is narrowing in the wrong hands.

Power in Social Psychology

I CANNOT answer for the implications Mr. Wells has drawn from the other reviewers. For myself, I am amazed that he does not see himself as a propagandist among his other roles. Others do ; and that is good enough for scientific purposes. Talk of the seizure of power in present-day England is, of course, just rubbish. That question has not been raised. What was being discussed was, From which fulcrum would the lever for change to the Wellsian World State be finally applied—Mr. Wells seems to see it in the people in key positions, but paradoxically enough he complains that they have not the brains to see. What then? My contention was that it is not simply an intellectual “seeing” that he must seek but an active desire, a liking for his world solution.
