...Orleans militant group called Thugs United has won financial aid from the city's staid Chamber of Commerce for black self-help programs. Milwaukee has a "Summerfest" of rock festivals and fashion shows. In Cincinnati, Richard Bedgood's black Checkmates group organized a series of summer leisure programs in the ghetto. Says Bedgood: "Everyone was real happy. Like man, they brought jazz groups in, they brought the symphony in, we had plays, we had rock groups. Practically every night they had something going. There was just no time to riot." Leon Atchison, assistant to Detroit's able...
...Rostov was one of the richest trading towns of medieval Russia, exchanging its honey, furs, wheat and beeswax for Scandinavian amber, Arab coins and Volga pottery. Today, it is a favorite stop for Sputnik International Youth Groups, who stay in the famed Red Chamber that once housed visiting czars, including Peter the Great. Its sprawling kremlin is, next to Moscow's own, the most spectacular in Russia.

If it had not been per formed at the Paris Universal Exhibition...
...against the other - one to a stereo channel - and each has its accompanying coterie of winds and strings. The resulting dialogue is almost Joycean in its plural textures and moment-to-moment subtleties. Recording studios also offer new technical means of composing, through such devices as the echo chamber, multi-track recording and tape superimposition. "In this way," says Poland's Krzysztof Penderecki, "the process of recording itself has become a means of composition as well as communication." Of course, none of this technical expertise would be possible without tape, on which all LPs are originally recorded. And there...
