...professional raiders but insiders-men who sold their firms for stock in big companies during the heady 1960s, then watched in dismay as the shares crumbled last year. Perhaps the fiercest fight pits the management of GAF Corp., which makes chemical and photo products, against Former Director Seymour Milstein, his family and friends. Milstein is upset by what he calls poor performance by the men who bought out his Ruberoid Co. in 1967. GAF Chairman Jesse Werner contends that the company is on the road to recovery. The struggle is a classroom case on how to conduct a proxy battle...
LESSON THREE. Fight dirty. In screaming, full-page newspaper ads and proxy mailings, Milstein's faction has accused the management of setting up a stock-option plan that became a "grab bag" for senior officers, and of using $600,000 of company funds to solicit proxies to re-elect itself. The company has retaliated with allegations that one of the challengers is a director of a firm in competition with GAP, that another bought his first 100 shares of stock only a few weeks ago, and that Milstein "has not been employed in a full-time job since December...
...INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL (Aug. 24-Sept. 13) this year has an Italian slant, featuring works by composers from Monteverdi and Corelli to Dallapiccola and Nono.

When he emerges from the wings to perform, it is not with the elegant stride of a Milstein or the open-armed warmth of a Stern. It is with a rapid, open-toed, Chaplinesque shuffle. When Zukofsky plays, his music often consists of a series of brash scrapes, sharp squeaks and galloping glissandos that Mozart, Brahms and Tchaikovsky never dreamed of. Sometimes, it seems that...
Nobody is allowed here who has not already shown talent and promise. Still, it is hard not to be nervous. Autographed portraits of Kreisler, Szigeti, Milstein-all good friends of Galamian's -glare down from the walls. The air seems to tingle with his awesome reputation in the violin world. Isaac Stern calls him "the most effective violin teacher in the country," and he certainly has the alumni to prove it. Most of the brightest young soloists in the U.S. are Galamian products; Itzhak Perlman, Young Uck Kim, Jaime Laredo, Paul Zukofsky and James Oliver Buswell IV. In addition...
