...saying that he lacks the glamour and glitter so dazzling to most nonprofessionals among concert audiences. The pros, on the other hand, call him one of the finest interpreters of Beethoven since Artur Schnabel. "The remarkable quality about Lateiner's playing," says Composer Elliott Carter, "is his depth of understanding." It is an understanding that Lateiner has distilled from scholarly scrutiny of the original manuscripts of the music he plays. A collector by inclination (rare books, German expressionist drawings), he has amassed an impressive number of sketches and first-edition scores by Beethoven, Mozart and other composers, is often...
...planned dive in the early fall. Designed jointly by Perry Submarine Builders, Inc., and Ocean Pioneer Edwin Link, the PLC4 will be "flown" under water by means of helicopter-like propellers at the stern and overhead. It will take two crewmen and two scuba divers to a maximum depth of 1,500 ft., where the divers can exit to the water from a pressurized compartment, returning to live aboard...
Thomson soon moved into the "backstage" offices. He clerked by day, by night took accounting courses at New York University. In 1930, after E. A.

After the 1940 reorganization, Thomson moved back to New York, where he worked under, and eventually succeeded, his longtime friend Mike McCarthy as head of operations, the paperwork part of the business...

Weil doubles as a circus barker and recites a double-talk speech about a performing horse, with all the necessary self-consciousness. Gitter makes the play's ending every bit as ghastly as it should...
Last spring, aerial photos were taken of the premises, which include half-buried pre-Roman ramparts dating back to the Iron Age. Then, in a three-week dig that has just ended, three big exploratory holes were carved in the dry loam to a depth of about 7 ft. Out of them came "Arthurian matter" called "minor jackpots" by the diggers, one of whom headily claimed to have found a carved letter "A." Presumably that meant something different in A.D. 500 than it did in Nathaniel Hawthorne's time...
