Seismographic Evidence. Columbia's boyish-looking Jay Orear, 32, who has almost completed a major Columbia survey on inspection for disarmament, challenged Teller on the technicalities.

Only occasionally did he indulge in cuteness, as when he spoke of "Grandfather Bassoon" and "Little Sister Piccolo," or explained that orchestration is like "putting clothes on notes...
...dream: a swank new house in Miami Springs (midway between Tropical Park and Hialeah), an air-conditioned Cadillac, a speedboat, a big farm (in West Virginia). The calculating look of his eyes, the short forehead sloping away from a long brown pompadour, the narrow, impatient face and snappy, little-boyish swagger convey the presence of a winner...
