Died. Luigi Dallapiccola, 71, Italian twelve-tone composer; of heart disease; in Florence. In 1939, Dallapiccola adopted Arnold Schoenberg's dodecaphonic method of composing and with it produced complex, passionate vocal and instrumental music in which he tried to express Europe's suffering. He became known in the U.S. through such well-received works as his opera The Prisoner, and his several stints as instructor in composition at Tanglewood. Mass., and elsewhere...
Present Shock. That all ended, however, after Reformer Arnold Miller, running on a platform of union democracy, beat Boyle in 1972 and appointed his press secretary, Don Stillman, 29, a Columbia University School of Journalism graduate, to the Journal's editorship. A stocky, plain-spoken journalist with a passion for fair reporting, Stillman rushed the Journal through present shock. He improved the layout, introduced four-color covers, hired a staff photographer whose job included investigative work, and stopped running the magazine as a presidential patsy. "But the No. 1 change," explained Stillman, "is that we place our emphasis...
...Parent found his way to the W.H.A.'s Philadelphia Blazers, signing a fat five-year $750,000 contract. That adventure too ended in disaster when Parent quit the team midway through the 1973 playoffs, claiming he had not been paid. Angry Blazer teammates called him a "hockey Benedict Arnold."

In Martinique, he got a call informing him the Flyers had taken him back. His career...
...Yorker! Gill does not dwell on this paradox, but it is not hard to explain. Ross, Shawn and the rest have successfully set up as taste makers over a 50-year period when cultural presumptions have changed horrendously. The New Yorker remains a throwback to Matthew Arnold's Victorian faith in a secular religion of truth and beauty. Eustace Tilley, the magazine's monocled symbol, is clearly an Arnold disciple turned dandy. To be impeccable, graceful and hard-hitting all at the same time is demanding work. So is hanging on to a upper-middle-class audience without...
When Congress killed a planned salary boost last March, "I just said the hell with it," recalls former New Jersey Federal Judge Anthony Augelli, who now works for General Motors at twice the pay. New York City's Arnold Bauman, who has now joined a major Wall Street firm, did not want to quit, but says it was "economically impossible for me to stay." Sidney Smith of Atlanta would have turned down a $120,000 partnership offer if even a 25% salary hike had come through. "We're going to get a slew of fresh resignations this year...
