...researchers Lyle Goodhue and William Sullivan adapt an earlier idea for dispersing liquids and powders in a spray. Result: the aerosol...
Peanut butter and jelly, Bonnie and Clyde...the Boston Ballet and Lyle Lovett? Why not? Why not could very well be the catch phrase for "The Young Masters;" Boston Ballet's first performance of the season comprising the works of three young, innovative choreographers. This is ballet turned inside out, rooted in classical technique but branching into a startling diversity. Influenced by sources as disparate as Beethoven and the Austrailian Bush, the the main link between the three pieces was their inventiveness...
...theme of innovation came clear from the start with Daniel Pelzig's "Nine Lives: Songs of Lyle Lovett." The odd juxtaposition of ballet with Lovett's mellow country blues and twangy tunes created a comic atmosphere that was magnified by the black leatherish pants worn by the men and the attitudes adopted by the dancers in their dramatization of the lyrics.

At Buffalo Forge he met Irvine Lyle, a gifted salesman and ultimately his partner in Carrier Corp. We'd all know the name Buffalo Forge today if the company hadn't decided in 1914 to kill off its engineering department. Disillusioned, Carrier, Lyle and five other young engineers left a year later to start their own operations...
