Koerner's work, too, is theatrical. He illuminates almost every scene with the pitiless white glare of stage lighting-never sunlight or moonlight-and his actors move and speak with exaggerated force. These devices, skillfully employed, make Koerner's paintings more arresting than those of such established U.S. realists as Philip Evergood and Ben Shahn. But they are not enough to explain his disturbing power. Koerner's storytelling art is one of implication, and its very theatricalism serves to imply that the "real" world which man has made is equally a fabric of illusions...
...first year on U.S. records, Soviet Composer Aram Khachaturian (TIME, Nov. 10) got in the top 15 with his flashy Gayane Ballet Suite and his trashy Piano Concerto. Beethoven, usually voted a top favorite in most U.S. bull-session polls, made the list with two piano sonatas, the Moonlight and Pathétique, neither of which rates tops with highbrow critics.

...lyrical over what he sees. "Water," says Pieter, "seems to give off vibrations which appear like beams of moonlight striking through a window pane. A gold reef appears like a black ridge. Diamonds give off individual vibrations. I cannot explain them." A Johannesburg mining syndicate was well content to let the explanations go, provided Pieter's sharp eyes continued to seek out treasures. They put the boy under contract as a dowser...
