ANDREW HILL, COMPULSION (Blue Note). Haitian-born Pianist Hill is magnificently obsessed with the complex rhythms and bold colors of African music. Aided by Nedi Quamar's African thumb piano (a handmade wooden box holding long metal prongs that are plucked), Renaud Simmons' conga and Joe Chamber's drums, he conjures up a thundering, lashing storm with sweeps across the keyboard -and then lets it fade into the silver pinging of random raindrops. Freddie Hubbard's trumpet has a cry for every change of mood...
...coast, Salvador, Brazil's oldest and fifth largest city (850,000 people) is the quintessence of African Brazil, a mellow, languorous city of rich, luminous colors that smells of dende oil, coconut milk and malagueta pepper and resounds to the throaty, metal-stringed strum of the African berimbau. To the north, once-sleepy Belem has turned into a throbbing mainstream of the Amazon's economic life, thanks to the highway linking it to Brasilia. In the remote Amazon city of Manaus, Brazil's fabled old turn-of-the-century rubber capital, life moves almost as languidly...
Accident. A metal-crunching car crash shatters the silence of a warm Oxford night.

As she emerges, she steps on the dead boy's face-an act that symbolizes what is past in her life and what is to come in the film. The don takes the girl into his home, puts her to sleep...
...exchange their dollars for U.S. gold, the balance-of-payments deficit has severely eroded the U.S. gold stock. Today, in the unlikely event that all foreign governments decided to cash in all their dollars at the same time, the Treasury's $13.1 billion store of the precious yellow metal would simply disappear. Last week that unlikely possibility prompted the nation's two largest banks to call for some major changes in U.S. gold policy...
Ampex also demonstrated a new $110,000 VTR that should have particular appeal to TV sports buffs. By recording on large metal disks rather than reels of magnetic tape, the machine will permit the first "instant replays" in color. As if that were not enough, it will allow action to be run forward and in reverse in both fast and slow motion...
