...year to the day after the abortive coup that was meant to hand Indonesia over to Communism. Now the anti-Communist army officers who put down the revolt were preparing to show the nation just who had been responsible. Before a military court sat a lean little man whose only name was Subandrio. He had been President Sukarno's Foreign Minister, secret-police boss and closest confidant. Last week Subandrio was on trial for his life...
...linearity of the twelve-tone school. In a fresh departure from the Passions of Bach and Telemann, his chorus participates as well as comments, punctuating Christ's ascent to Calvary with hisses, shouts and mocking laughter, while the music quavers and sighs in sympathetic counterpoint. With the lean, clean strokes of a fencer, Penderecki slices to the heart of the Passion, revealing through the intolerance shown to one man the tragedy...

Besides the faculty and graduate students in the new building, large numbers of undergraduates should flock back and forth between the complex...
...towers rape the low skyline of cities that have evolved over centuries, who cares? They make such great tourist attractions that a commission of Hamburgers seriously suggested that their tower, now under construction, be designed with a built-in lean to woo tourist dollars away from Pisa. It won't, but there's a consolation: in addition to doing the things that other TV towers do-transmitting radio and TV signals and conventional phone calls-it will buzz any motorist equipped with a simple and inexpensive receiver, signaling him to go to a telephone and call his office...
