...expect to continue changing as change seems indicated. On our 20th anniversary, the man who started all this, Henry R. Luce, told the staff at dinner: "To you I say, it is better to think of us as quite new-new every week-for indeed not a week goes by without important changes-changes in who we are, changes in what we have to do, changes in the world with which your work is done." On that same evening, he used a phrase that keeps ringing in our ears. He said that we have to be "everlastingly contemporary." That...
Apparently, the Authority did not expect any wide-spread opposition to its plans from people living in Donnelly. Since the CRA had merely a skeleton professional staff of five only token measures toward "communication and participation" with Donnelly were possible; very little CRA money was budgeted for getting grassroots support among the residents. The opposition which erupted at the public hearings took the CRA by surprise. Members of the CRA were quick to blame the resistance on a few rabblerousers, but the opposition reflected the way most of the people in Donnelly felt about the CRA project...
...last week Composer Lees heard his notes turned to music. Violinist Henryk Szeryng and the Boston Symphony Orchestra performed Lees's Violin Concerto in two New York concerts, and its excellence, together with the skimpy monetary rewards he can expect, make a very good case for giving Lees and other gifted composers like him a never-ending grant to keep them going. In an age when almost no composers are turning their talents to the delicate mysteries of the violin concerto, Lees has written a small masterpiece. If all goes well and it is played a half-dozen times...
Such successes are about all Lees can expect from his music. "If you start asking yourself why art doesn't pay and how you can make it pay, you've got a problem that will kill you," he says. "It's enough to work out something in music that will carry a little personal conviction. That is my aim-to create a personal idiom." To do it, Lees works steadily in his home in Hyattsville, Md., and at the moment, he is busy writing three works (including an oboe concerto) at once. Two days a week...
...businessmen, unionists, economists and educators-now estimates how fast France can and should grow. The current goal is 5½% annually through 1965, and to reach it the commissariat "suggests" investment and output levels for each major industry and producer. The theory: if appliance makers can be led to expect a 5½% increase in consumer demand, they will increase production and, in turn, boost the makers of steel, copper, machine tools and other appliance essentials. Those who dance to the government's tune enjoy tax incentives and generous credits from the all-powerful Bank of France...
