...Heinrich: The Dawning of Music in Kentucky (the American Music Group, Neely Bruce, director and piano soloist; Vanguard, $5.98). In his own time (1781-1861), Anthony Philip Heinrich was considered by his supporters "the Beethoven of America." More recently, Lexicographer Nicolas Slonimsky has taken a less adoring stance: "The quality of his works easily accounts for the speedy and complete oblivion of even his name."

Wulff was impressed by "the cordiality of his welcome" but dismayed by Himmler's "lack of breeding." The Reichsführer SS sat "sucking his soup like a peasant...
...When Heinrich Böll won the Nobel Prize for Literature last year, there was a general and aggressive nodding of heads. "Couldn't have happened to a more deserving or decent fellow," the nodders agreed. Böll is prolific. He is a senior member of Group 47, the informal association of such writers as Günter Grass and Uwe Johnson, who took it upon themselves in 1947 to articulate the conscience of postwar Germany. Unlike Grass, whose fancy fixes persistently on violence and pain, Böll's characteristic manner is gently satirical...
