...longest, Constellation, which lasts twelve and a half minutes, must come in the middle. The score of this format consists of groups of notes on long unfolding sheets. To make it easier for the performer to observe the different techniques of performance which Boulez requires for various constellations, the text is printed in red and green. The sound oscillates regularly in register and density, and Boulez seems to try to get every possible sonority out of the piano, like Debussy extrapolated fifty years into the future...
...education is ideally focussed on the specific student. Each girl selects her Oxford-like advisor or "don", who has sole authority to counsel her, and criticize her program. Students take three courses a year, and of the 12 courses throughout the four years, all but two follow the unique format devised 30 years ago by Constance Warren, the school's first president...
TIME has changed a good deal through the years, but we have never undergone one of those shattering format shakeups that have ripped so many magazines. When radio and television and movies and nightclubs coalesced into one big forum of entertainment, we started our Show Business section; as leisure time and affluence increased in the developed countries of the world, we established a Modern Living section; as more businessmen began to spread their operations on an international scope, we started the World Business section.

Sorry as it is, the Worker is the most influential of U.S. Communist publications-which range in format from Political Affairs, a sort of Soviet Reader's Digest, to Glos Ludowy (Voice of the Masses), a weekly distributed to 3,000 left-leaning Poles in Detroit. Even if their circulation claims are accepted as genuine, as they cannot be, total readership falls short of 70,000, much of that duplicated. About the only circulation that the Worker can really count on steadily is in official Washington. More than 150 copies are studied by Government agencies, looking...
