...flashed a perceptive alarm to the West about the "Red Russian tidal flood . . . The war has loosened upon Europe the most powerful imperialistic force since Napoleon-totalitarian, Communist Soviet Russia." Eyesight failing, he roved restlessly about his old international haunts, a derring-do journalist, lost in the geopolitical maze of another era. In 1959, from New Delhi, he sent up another rocket: "Soviet Russia and Red China reportedly have agreed in Peiping to divide the globe north of the Equator into two areas of Red operations...
...Spiral. In the Indian cotton center of Ahmedabad he built two graceful villas, an office building for the Mill-owners Association, and finally the "endless museum" he had thought of 30 years before. Its plan, which was to be repeated in Tokyo, was a sort of square spiral or maze that could be expanded at will. Today he is still working on his biggest commission of all: Chandigarh, the capital of the Punjab. The Indian government hired Corbu for 4,000 rupees ($840; a month to build a whole new city to replace the old Lahore, which had been turned...
...been frozen: the trick is to make the form throb with life. The abstract constructions that lined the walls of Manhattan's Staempfli Gallery last week gave the illusion in their own ways.

Some of the sculptures, when touched, danced like plants swaying under water; others, when plucked, sang like a forest in the wind. Italian-born Sculptor Harry Bertoia, 46, is only one of many artists who work with metal and welding torch, but few have...
Somer's technique is based on the fact that in the usual symphony orchestra, the higher pitched instruments (violins and higher winds) are concentrated on the left, the lower pitched instruments (cellos, bass, brass, tympani) to the right. With a maze of controls he called "the rat's nest," Somer was able to divide a monophonic recording into two separate sound tracks, generally using a high-pass filter to channel the high-frequency violins and winds to the left, a low-pass filter to place the low-frequency instruments to the right. With further gimmicks, such...
...Baudouin gave in rather than make the squabble public. The logic emerges in the Loi Unique itself. A classic economist who left a Louvain University professorship to enter politics, Eyskens is convinced that Belgium's survival depends on drastic economic reforms to modernize taxation, clean up the maze of welfare state payments and reduce spending. His sweeping new catchall bill steps on the toes of rich and poor alike...
