196844386New York: John Wilcock 1968. First Edition. Tabloid 43cm; photo-illustrated newsprint wrappers; 24pp; illus. Mild toning along spine-fold else a very Near Fine unfolded copy without postal markings. Though never as popular or widely-circulated as its brethren like The East Village Other and The Berkeley Barb nor as political as such radical-left undergrounds as The Black Panther and New Left Notes John Wilcock's Other Scenes probably deserves pride of place as the most daring creative and experimental of the alternative press papers of the late Sixties. It was also - probably a function of Wilcock's comparative maturity he was already in his late thirties in 1967 - far less reliant on the sort of psychedelic mish-mosh that defined the aesthetic of most other underground papers of the period. Described in the masthead as "a revolutionary newsletter concerned with art politics sociology sex and the creation of a more equitable society" Other Scenes was heavily influenced by both the Fluxus and mail-art movements as well as Andy Warhol's avant-pop aesthetic Wilcock was a regular Factory denizen. The paper operated as much as a virtual underground club for its subscribers as it did a vehicle for news distribution; according to the masthead of an early issue Wilcock distributed the paper "twenty times a year from wherever its editor happens to be" and his mailings often included "surprises" including "newsletters newspapers letters brochures and discoveries that I make in all parts of the world." Contents include contributions by Alan Solomon Julius Lester Ronald Willis Brenda Mull Don Peterson Jacques Zavrian and others with comix by R. Crumb and a "Notes of a Dirty Old Man" column by Charles Bukowski. John Wilcock unknown books

Blind-stamps of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. FINE. FIRST EDITION. In this joint paper by the veteran investigator Orntsein and the junior faculty member Kramers on atomic theory the authors investigated how the classical collision formula in the kinetic-theory of gases has to be modified in order that the molecules shall be distributed according to the Fermi-law. In 1914 Leonard Ornstein succeeded Peter Debye as the chair of theoretical physics at the University of Utrecht. Later Ornstein became director of the physical institute there in 1925. As director of the Institute Ornstein's work shifted decisively into experiments and his organizational talent began to unfold. In the preceding dozen years Ornstein had published about fifty papers; in the following twenty years over two hundred bore his own name and almost five hundred additional papers were published from his institute which underwent three substantial enlargements in this period. See: DSB X pp. 235-236. L. S. At the time that Ornstein became director of the institute Kramers was appointed to the faculty of the University of Utrecht and had an office at the Institute.
