The passion ofCarleton In March 1957 Carleton Gajdusek, journey in what was then the Gajdusek '43, an eclectic a thirty-three-year-old physician Australian territory of Papua and New returning to the United States after Guinea. He expected it to be a brief genius, led him to find in an working at the Walter and Eliza Hall visit; it lasted ten months. In that time exotic brain disease a novel and Institute of Medical Research in Gajdusek became the central figure in deadly form ofvirus. Australia, broke his homeward the most intriguing medical detective story of recent years, setting ofT a chain of events that would lead him to a share of the 1976 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine. Within two days of his arrival, he wrote excitedly to the late joseph Smadel (then associate director of the National Institutes oIHealth) that he had begun to study "so astonishing an illness that clinical description can only be read with skepticism." Early in April, in another letter, Gajdusek in­ sisted: "I tell you,joe, this is no wild goose chase but a really big thing.... I stake my entire reputation on this mat­ ter. " The disease that Gajdusek, together with a local physician, Vincent Zigas, brought to world attention was kuru. It affected a small, isolated population in the eastern highlands of New Guinea -the Fore, Stone Age people who still practiced cannibalism. In the Fore language, kuru means the trembling associated with fear or cold. It is a fatal degenerative disease of the central ner­ vous system that begins with shivering and tremors, then progresses through loss of coordination and speech to overall incapacitation. The victims are finally unable to swallow or chew and usually die within a year of the first symptoms.

It argues, was not a factor. Although his food with them, stay and nurse them meant little at the time but would later prove to be an astute observation. After ten months in the field, Gaj­ dusek finally returned to NIH early in 1958 with a mass ofdata, the initial phase of the investigation over but no solution to the mystery at hand. The first clue came in 1959 when Dr. William Hadlow wrote to the British medical journal Lancet, pointing out the strong similarities between kuru and scrapie-a slow virus disease of sheep and goats. Gajdusek was im­ pressed. With his longtime collabo­ rator Clarence Gibbs at NIH, he re­ sumed the search for a transmissible agent in kuru, gearing his research to look for parallel causes in other human degenerative diseases. By 1963 Gibbs and Gajdusek were injecting kuru-infected brain tissue in­ to chimpanzees. Their patience was re­ warded when the first animals came down with the disease in 1965. (Since then they have transmitted kuru to a variety of nonhuman primates and Carleton Gajdusek (left) and Vincent Zigas examine a kuru-afflicted South Fore child and record nonprimates, as well as from monkeys the effects of the disease during their first encounter with it in 1957. to monkeys and from chimpanzees to through their disease until they die ... and never get kuru." Gajdusek has also suggested an answer to another mystery: How did kuru arise in the first place? He specu­ lates that a spontaneous case ofCJD may have occurred in New Guinea. During the cannibalistic rite, the original CJD virus became modified in the victims, to give kuru. There is more. Suppose, Gajdusek conjectures, that all four ofa class ofviral brain in­ fections known as subacute spongiform virus encephalopathies-kuru, CJD, scrapie, and transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME)-are different strains ofa single original virus, modified by their respective hosts. Scrapie, for example, might be the prototype. Mink feeding on sheep car­ casses would develop TME.

Participants in the panel discussion "The Critic as Hero, Villain, and Organizer of Culture," which played to a packed house at the Eastman School last fall were (in the usual order) Deborah Averill, moderator; Paul Katz, a founding member of the distinguished Cleveland Quartet; Andrew Porter, former music critic for the London Financial Times and now The New Yorker's chief music critic; and basso Thomas Paul, who reportedly has sung with every major orchestra in the United States and Canada and with many ofthe major opera companies.

8 reaction then rather more like that of the critic who is constantly learning something? Have you learned from a performance that is radically different from your own and is in a sense a criticism of your playing? Katz: I don't think of it as a criticism, and yes, I have learned a lot. Immodestly put, I can say that sometimes I've learned how not to do things. More often, I come away ex­ cited about new ideas. Porter: I was thinking ofan artist who was so different from you that he transcended what you might think are the bounds-the permissible bounds -ofinterpretation in that work. Katz: Yes, there are times when I feel I've missed the point of the piece. I guess if I were the critic I would write that I had done so. But let me put it another way. I think a critic could say a lot more without offending me if it were made clear that what he writes is Green Room conference: Two performers and a critic (Thomas Paul, Paul Katz, and Andrew Porter, respectively and in left-to-right order) huddle for a moment before going public with their his own opinion.

ne of the best-known buildings at the University is O the Frederick Douglass Building. Housing the more popular of the student dining centers, the campus bookstore, the Alumni Center, and the Faculty Club, the Douglass Building was named in 1967 for the charismatic former slave who escaped, settled in Rochester in 1847, worked for abolition, and edited The North Star. Douglass is however, it stands for the achievement and aspirations of buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery, and the University owns an the University's students, alumni, and faculty. impressive collection ofhis books and manuscripts. In this article we shall present some facts in order to give It is ironic that Frederick Douglass became the nation's a picture ofjust how things stand with blacks as alumni, most important and most widely acknowledged black students, faculty, and staff. Then we shall speak of our spokesman while residing in Rochester, which had few aspirations, and some of the approaches we are taking to black residents. IfDouglass were to come back to Roch­ try and change the campus in ways which Frederick ester today, he would feel right at home.
