THERE is a new, privileged, spotlighted, envied group in the U.S. It is composed of "the singles"-the young unmarried whose label connotes, as in tennis, an endeavor more vigorous, more skilled and more fun than mere doubles. Proportionately, there are fewer singles in the population than there were 20 years ago, because young Americans are tending to marry at an earlier age. But they are the focus of a major part of advertising and salesmanship, the direct target of new approaches in housing and entertainment, the considerable despair of some established institutions, and the apostolate of a freer code...
Geneen himself shuns the conglomerate tag, prefers to call ITT "a unified-management, multiproduct company"-a term that, for some reason, he considers far tidier. Whatever the label, Geneen's ITT has become a hearty concoction. A huge amalgam of some 150 affiliated companies in 57 countries, it hums with new purpose in its traditional field: the manufacture of communications equipment around the world. At the same time, ITT's 204,000 employees are pushing into fresh territory. Backed by an annual research-and-development budget of $220 million, ITT scientists are at work on such sophisticated projects...
...some of the challenging peaks of the piano repertory. Most pianists refrain from tackling Beethoven's 32 sonatas until their ripest years. Barenboim had learned them at 14, played them in a cycle of concerts in London last spring, and is now recording them all on the Angel label. "If you could work to an ideal interpretation, then you'd have to wait to record everything on the day before you die," he says. "All music is something that's made at a certain time. And it doesn't get better by being left...
...easy to label Corman a not-too-effective purveyor of hippie culture, then dismiss him. But the fact is, he's pimping for the hippies and their prurient elders. The hippies can look at Corman's motorcyclists as social outcasts who never get a chance, who always have to keep moving. They can honor Hell's Angels as champions of freedom. The elders can point to the Angels' intolerance toward anybody outside the gang, their destructiveness, their eager brutality; they won't live and let live...
...experiment was such a success that Shankar and Menuhin decided to expand on it in a London recording studio. The result is one of the year's most fascinating-and briskly selling-classical albums; released in the U.S. on an Angel label, it has sold 15,000 copies in six weeks. Menuhin plays two ragas worked out by Shankar (the rest of the album is given over to a solo by Shankar and a performance of Enesco's Sonata No. 3 by Menuhin and his pianist sister Hephzibah). On the first, a violin solo, Menuhin spins...
