...Your devastating review of Giacomo Joyce [Jan. 19] recalls my own "quarrel" with this document a few months ago, after a one-page facsimile from it, with a dramatic account of its discovery, appeared on the front page of the New York Times. I read the article and telephoned the writer to tell him that in my opinion the script was definitely not that of James Joyce. I have handled scores of letters and manuscripts by Joyce, but not a single one looked anything like the facsimile reproduced in the New York Times...
...crash, technicians have taken ice-core samples that will be an alyzed for radioactivity in U.S. and Danish labs. If it is determined that any substantial amount of hot debris penetrated the ice and sank to the bottom of Baffin Bay, 800 ft. below, deep-diving submersibles (TIME, Jan. 19) may be called in to recover it, just as they were in the Palomares crash...
...music world calls the Great Conductor Hunt, one of the choicest quarries has been shaggy-haired Seiji Ozawa, 32, conductor of the Toronto Symphony. He is gifted enough to have been considered a prospect for two of the nation's top orchestras, New York and Chicago (TIME, Jan. 19). Last week the San Francisco Symphony announced that it had bagged Ozawa for itself, starting in the fall of 1970. Retiring Viennese Conductor Josef Krips, 65, who in the past five years has rebuilt San Francisco into one of the nation's solid second-rank ensembles, was largely responsible...
...opening night, the Pennsylvanians dared a world premiere-and a difficult one it was. Ceremony, by protean choreographer John Butler, a Martha Graham disciple, is cast in the new mold of dehumanized abstraction that Balanchine recently demonstrated in Metastaseis & Pithoprakta (TIME, Jan. 26). The score for Ceremony, by Polish avant-garde Composer Krzysztof Penderecki, is an aggressive compendium of cacophonies-growlings, twitterings, bongs and clashes, punctuated by police whistles and sirens...
...basic premise behind the merger is that it will yield greater efficiency-and therefore higher profits. Those profits are desperately needed. Stuart Saunders, who became chairman and chief executive of the new Penn Central (TIME cover, Jan. 26), recently reported that the Pennsy's operating earnings for 1967 were off 68.7%, falling from $45,055,320 in 1966 to $14,091,593. Consolidated earnings, which covered non-rail activities, brought the total to $60,344,240, a drop of 33.2%. In the ailing railroad industry, that was not bad at all-and it seemed almost good compared with...
