...audience might perhaps take to this austere and demanding creation. If puzzled, though, young listeners had better skip Boulez's stygian liner notes. "The necessary transposition," Boulez writes, describing the setting of words to music, "demands the invention of equivalences; equivalences that may be applied both to the exterior form of the musical invention and to its quality or inner structure." Fortunately, when Boulez talks, he is entertaining and outspoken. So much so that he might even be able to explain those liner notes to the Villagers...
Shepard and Mitchell plan to spend 331 hours on the moon, including 9 hours or more in the lunar outdoors. Many of their activities should be visible back on earth. As Shepard climbs down from the lunar module, he will pull a cord to open up an exterior equipment bay, thereby switching on a color TV camera, which will later be carried around to record the astronauts' work.

Terra cotta was the original choice for the exterior faces, and the texture which it would have provided might have prevented the tower from looking like a rouged waffle-iron...
...necessary then, to create or recognize exterior conditions which keep us in cities, plodding along with whatever we may consider to be our work. Thus... a job or a lover or a mission, like confronting what one believes about politics, and we are tied to our cities and their carnal fetishes, but we have passed the buck somehow in our own minds. Or there may be a human sharing desire, whereby one is fulfilled in suffering by the existence of fellow suffers. Bolstered by, unhappy, confirming faces, and the sharing of despondent memories with friends, reliving other moments, marking recurring...
