...Born in Berlin 51 years ago, Tichauer indulged a youthful interest in anatomical engineering by watching brewery horses pull their heavy load up the city's slopes. The lithe movements of the big cats, pacing their cages at Berlin's Tiergarten, riveted his attention for hours on end. Studying the exhibit on paleolithic man at the Museum fur Völkerkunde, he pondered the relationship between that brawny prehistoric arm and the stone ax it brandished at onlookers. After earning degrees in science and mechanical engineering, Tichauer decided to investigate for himself...
...work. He was soon able to have them made up in steel rather than wood, and the games became more diabolical. His 1965 Instrument for La Monte Young looks like an innocent, slender metal box with a ball in it. But De Maria designed it with microphones at either end, which-in theory at least-could be hooked up to an amplifying system. Thus the "ping" of the ball would be amplified 50 times, and the viewer-listener who wanted to roll the ball back and forth could go deaf...
...America company might bring more rhythmic pizazz to Calendar; none but the Royal could evoke the special virtues of Enigma Variations. Based on the orchestral score by Sir Edward Elgar, the work is a nostalgic visualization of a half-remembered spirit and place: green and pleasant England at the end of Victoria's reign.

For the moment, however, high prices are hurting not only the consumer but the exporter. The U.S. balance of payments, which was $990 million in the black at the end of last year, is expected to show a large deficit for the first quarter of the year. The important trade balance may be in the red, partly because of the winter dock strike, but also because of the high cost of U.S. goods to foreign buyers...
...peacefully. He contemptuously cites Gomulka's excuse for violence: "With wolves, one must howl." Writes Djilas: "Let him do his howling. I shall not, though I have snarled and snapped with my teeth in my time. Such behavior achieves less than expected; in any case, there is no end to snapping and snarling." Djilas may be the first of his kind: a Communist convert to democracy who remains in his native land to speak his mind and influence events. If he is to be believed, he will be followed by many more...
