...Europe, constructivism was apolitical; its center was the De Stijl group in Holland, led by Mondrian and Van Doesburg. The bright shuttles of color-red, blue, yellow, white and black, without tints or complementaries or tones-in works like Mondrian's Color Composition A, 1917, or Van Does-burg's majestic but unbuilt design of 1923 for a university hall-refer to no ideology of the state. The aim of such work is to clean the mind and purge emotion; to construct a paradise of fundamental shape. Instead of the "handwriting" of brush marks, the clear flat surface...
Though the first roulette wheel will not spin for at least a year in Vegas East, even New Jerseyites outside Atlantic City are starting to slaver over the promised tourist bonanza. For?say the prophets?it will not only revitalize the old burg of Miss America and Monopoly but also return to the state nearly $18 million in new tax revenue by 1980 and more than $35 million by 1985. No one, of course, is talking about 1984, the year of George Orwell's novel of the superstate Oceania in which betting for "some millions of proles was the principal...

The occasion was Reformation Day, and the program was built around Bach's Cantata #80, Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott ("A mighty fortress...
...only disappointments of the program were the Buxtehude setting of Ein feste Burg, an uninspired set of variations, and the postlude, the brilliant Sinfonia from Bach's Cantata #29 known in solo violin, solo organ, full orchestral, and Moog synthesizer versions. The Sinfonia was played brightly by strings and brass only to be let down by the organ. There was not enough bass registration to carry through the Church--in part, a design flaw of the Fisk instrument--but even the upper voices were too thin to compete with such a healthy orchestra. Coupled with a number of fingering lapses...
