Doubts remain about Schill's chances of scoring another upset during elections in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt scheduled for April 21. Schill claims the Law and Order Offensive has 20% support there, but opinion polls give it just 2% of the vote. A party needs 5% to earn a place in the state legislature. "Schill's party is like a collection point for dissatisfied people," says Ralf Tils, a political scientist at the University of Lüneburg.

This period is usually labeled Bach's secular phase, though he was not fussy about the distinction between sacred and secular. Bach often borrowed from...
Actually, much of this medium-mixing has been going on for several years, but Expo has presented these experiments to their first mass audience. According to Professor Istvan Anhalt, director of the electronic studio at Montreal's McGill University, where some of Expo's music was created, Expo's relationship to electronic music is comparable to the partnership between medieval cathedrals and the music that was created for them. The novelty today, says Anhalt, is that the audience can walk around and "be enveloped by the sound...
