DENNY ZEITLIN is both a pianist and an M.D. in psychiatric training who likes to analyze his music ("I attempted to build layer upon layer of tension to generate an organic shape"). In Live at the Trident (Columbia), he plays standards and some pieces of his own in a wide variety of moods and forms. Although he pays allegiance to Ornette Coleman as the most significant jazzman of the decade, Zeitlin himself plays it much safer and at times seems to be simply entertaining at the cocktail hour...
Western Europe has increased its trade with Red China from a total of $321.6 million in 1962 to an estimated $622.8 million in 1965. Britain is building or has contracted to build four major plants in China to produce fertilizers, plastics and synthetic fibers.

The French are building a chemical plant in China, have launched two freighters to be delivered to the Chinese, may also build a passenger ship and a truck-assembly plant. The Italians are selling steel and machinery, fertilizer components...

Thus Chicago-based Motorola has just won official permission to build a multimillion-dollar plant at Toulouse to make transistors, diodes and integrated circuits. International Telephone & Telegraph Corp. recently received approval for a semiconductor factory at Colmar, and the French subsidiary of Caterpillar got authority in mid-March to double the size of its Grenoble tractor factory. Though the French still consider...
...companies, of course, are learning how to flavor their deals more to the French taste. Motorola, for instance, will build in a depressed area where the government has a hard time persuading its own industry to go. Of the plant's 500 workers, 20% will do technological research, in which France lags. Half their output is to be exported...
