WALTER GIESEKING: BEETHOVEN PIANO CONCERTO NO. 5 IN E FLAT (Seraphim). This is the second low-priced issue of a Gieseking Emperor; the first (on Odyssey) is older and not as up-to-date in sound. For a seasoned campaigner, the late German pianist could be surprisingly youthful when he turned to Beethoven. Here he treats the Emperor more like a prince-in-waiting than an absolute monarch; he never stoops to imperious rhetoric, his tone is lithe and silvery, and he moves with quickness and grace. It is not the only way to treat the music...
Meanwhile, Spiro T. Agnew veered more sharply to the right in a deliberate effort to woo Wallaceites to Nixon. At times, except for his flat Baltimore accent, Agnew indeed could almost have changed places with Wallace. In Woodbridge, N.J., he attacked "phony intellectuals who don't understand what we mean by hard work and patriotism."

Though under orders to be cautious on the hills today, McLoone may be able to compensate by opening up on the lengthy flat stretches of the 5.5-mile Franklin Park course...
...account of the consequences of a childhood schooled by atrocities. Kosinski, who was born in Poland and now lives in the U.S., keeps the relationship between the two books vague, but the almost autistic state of mind and the prose-voice in both are nearly identical. It is the flat, emotionless tone of the survivor whose shattering experiences have set him outside the conventional boundaries of the human race. No longer capable of giving or receiving compassion, the victim-the painted bird-has survived and grown into a bird of prey that thrives on acts of voyeurism, cruelty and revenge...
