...Many Lawyers. Foreign firms easily catch onto the American way of doing business, but many-particularly the British, who are investing heavily in U.S. real estate-complain of the tangle of U.S. laws and of the need to have a battery of high-priced lawyers always on hand to interpret them. Snorted an exasperated Englishman: "In England, lawyers tend to be kept in their proper place as advisers." It may surprise U.S. businessmen, but foreign companies make few complaints about U.S. labor. In fact, Takuji Ohshimo, executive director of the Japanese-owned Alaska Lumber & Pulp Co., finds negotiating with...
...Hamlin, I say, could have left the show to Falstaff. But Mr. Hamlin obviously has a conscience and something of a recognition that actors in Henry IV must interpret their characters with a really careful consistency.

With increasing serialization, indications for the performer have become more and more exact, more and more demanding; they reached the point that the performer could no longer fulfill them, and had to decide for himself how to interpret the work. Thus, if the composer is not to step from total control to no control, he must make the performer a partner in the creation of the sounds. At the same time, Ligeti has suggested, the breakdown of the tonality which required playing in one direction (forward) only, has created forms that can be passed through in several directions in time...
