...inspire Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel, Corelli was to set the style for years to come for the Concerto Grosso. Yet, like all great composers, Corelli avoided a dogmatic conception of musical form, and within the twelve concerti of Opus 6 there are twelve different variations on the general slow-fast-slow-fast and fast-slow-fast shapes. Quadri elicits a lovely shimmering string tone from the English Baroque Orchestra. (Westminster...
...result of Abby's fast rise, sister Ann sniffs that Abby is "very imitative." If not imitative, the two columnists have reason to show some similarity. Maiden-named Pauline Esther (Popo) and Esther Pauline (Eppie) Friedman, they are identical (5 ft. 2 in., 108 Ibs.) twins, who dressed identically until the day they were married (in a double wedding), and still find that they occasionally buy identical clothes in San Francisco and Chicago. Married to wealthy businessmen, they have many of the same friends, share interests that range from psychiatry to Chopin...
...Reuther forces was the Power Reactor Development Co., a combine of Detroit Edison Co., 17 other private utilities and seven manufacturing firms, which will finance and operate the $45.5 million Monroe plant under the leadership of Detroit Edison President Walker Lee Cisler. P.R.D.C. is building the first commercial "fast-breeder" reactor, the type most likely to produce competitively cheap atom power, since it produces more atom fuel than it consumes. Late in 1955, the first experimental fast breeder ran out of control at the National Reactor Testing Station, melted its own fuel with more than...
...Opponents of P.R.D.C.'s fast breeder got one good arguing point when AEC's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards warned last June: "There is insufficient information available to give assurance that the reactor can be operated at [Monroe] without public hazard." But AEC disagreed, gave P.R.D.C. a "provisional permit" to build last August, did not publish its advisory committee's warning until October. The decision was immediately criticized by Senator Clinton P. Anderson, who is joint Congressional atomic energy chief and a public-power enthusiast. Then the U.A.W., together with the International Union of Electrical Workers...
...Fact & Fission. P.R.D.C. did much to dispel these fears last week by submitting the testimony of five top-drawer atom scientists and reactor experts. Their verdict, summarized by Professor Hans A. Bethe of Cornell University: "By the application of theoretical physics to what we now know, a fast-breeder reactor can be constructed and operated without undue risk to the public ... its operation is safe." Furthermore, AEC stressed that its Monroe permit is only for the construction of the plant, not its operation. Unless all the bugs are worked out of the fast breeder by the time the plant...
