Swinging Deals. At Volkswagen, Schmücker made frequent visits to the shop floor to argue corporate strategy with workers. Says he: "We have had, sometimes, very interesting and fierce and passionate discussions." He overcame worker objections to manufacturing in the U.S. by swinging deals to supply made-in-Germany engines to other manufacturers-including Chrysler and American Motors. He also promised to retool and expand the Emden plant, which was making only Rabbits for export to the U.S., to turn out other cars as well. Schmücker continued Leiding's policy of paying workers as much...
...Citizens of Verona and Milan and the alert timing and confident sound of the orchestra provides the back-drop for a demanding variety of song and dance numbers parceled out among a handful of actors. The isolated soliloquies and duologues of Shakespeare's play carry over into frequent solo and duo performances of Guare's lurics. The music does not make operatic claims on the actors' voices, but its idiosyncratic Spanish and soul-based timing can be tricky. What with the generous amplification, no one is under much strain...

Stevens has been found guilty of illegally discharging 289 workers in 15 cases, and was forced to rehire tham with backpay totalling $1.3 million. However, legal penalties come only after two to four years of litigation, and thus long after an organizing drive hay been strangled. As a result, Stevens can effectively ignore labor laws...
Soll's method in terms of movement technique is most clearly shown in "Lines of Perception," a dance by John Hofstetter which made up the first half of the program. Soll's frequent collaborator, Hofstetter, distilled the movement style they both favor and offered it bone-dry: a sequence of movements executed four times with four different spatial orientations. One figure (Hofstetter) walks at a visually imperceptible pace to trace the boundary of the performing space...
