...ALWIN NIKOLAIS, 56, is a Flipped-Out, plugged into a high-voltage fantasy world where stage and sound effect share equal billing with the dancers. In Vaudeville of the Elements, figures in bulging fluorescent balloons waddle and contract like pregnant accordians. One dancer wrestles with a space-age cobweb. Others, with illuminated lampshades on their hands and feet, do a close-order drill. Now the dancers are drunken caterpillars, now they are partnering their own distorted shadows.

For the straining back-office staffs who have been putting in grueling hours to overcome the paperwork logjam, that was just as well. A seven-man committee of industry leaders reported that since shortened hours went into effect Jan. 22, there has been a "substantial" reduction in the number of delivery failures among brokers. Such "fails" generally occur because brokers are unable to obtain stock certificates within the five-day period (raised last month from four days) allotted for payment and delivery after every securities transaction.
