Those Soviet goals would be imperiled by a new showdown in Berlin. As West German Foreign Minister Willy Brandt put it, "The higher interest...
...decision of the new command was to cut the show back from two hours to roughly 90 minutes and to forgo, most weeks, the magazine format.

...experience: 50 uninterrupted minutes of a virtuoso instrumental recital. There will be no portentous documentary script, no dizzying camera angles, no glamorized settings-just an unadorned closeup of a great performer at work. The performer: Vladimir Horowitz. Oddly enough, this is one time when Horowitz will have to forgo Bonanza; that's his NBC competitor Sunday night...
