TRUONG CHINH, the leading theoretician. Chinh, Chairman of Hanoi's National Assembly, is as openly pro-Peking as any leader can be in a traditionally anti-Chinese country. He has provided his own political label: his adopted name means "Long March," after Mao Tse-tung's epic 7,000-mile trek to sanctuary in Yenan in 1934. Chinh may be too far out on Peking's political limb to head up Hanoi's middle-of-the-road leadership. Moreover, he has been at odds with both Le Duan and General Giap. With Ho gone...
Gordon Metcalf of Sears, Roebuck complains that retail-sales figures, which store chains use to plan inventories and sales-promotion policies, are especially slippery. "For instance," he says, "on April 11, retail sales for March were announced as $29.58 billion, a record and a substantial increase over February.

But I do not anticipate any overnight changes." Maine...
...ultimate creation of the recording process are composers who create only for the electronic idiom. To them, composition means either recording real-life sounds on tape and then transforming them electronically (musique concrete), or starting from scratch with an electronic sound synthesizer like the Moog (TIME, March 7). Electronic composers "write" on tape; their music was never intended for the traditional concert hall. "The trouble with the concert hall," says California's electronic composer Morton Subotnick, "is that it requires a social and theatrical esthetic that really has nothing to do with our music." Germany's Karlheinz Stockhausen...
