ELVIN JONES, PUTT'N' IT TOGETHER (Blue Note). Drummer Jones, who played with the late John Cohrarie, became famous for his fiery musical duels with the master. With Jimmy Garrison on bass and Joe Farrell splitting three ways on tenor, soprano sax and flute, Jones here uses his flashy technique to inspire, shape and embroider a harmonically free, three-way dialogue. Reza and Jay-Ree brim with bright looping arches of sound reminiscent of Ornette Coleman. Soloing on Kei-Ko's Birthday March, Elvin gets under way with a humorous drum-corps pattern that soon turns into...
...Belaúnde poured money into education until, by this year, fully 25% of Peru's budget was being spent on schooling-probably the highest proportion for any country on the continent. He attempted agrarian reform and drew some 2,000,000 Peruvians, largely Indians, into Cooperación Popular projects for village improvement. Through it all, he traveled the country tirelessly...
From the outset, though, Belaúnde was at odds with the Peruvian Congress. His Actión Popular party was not strong enough to outvote his opponents, the coalition of ex-Dictator Manuel Odría's upper-middle-class followers and the left-of-center American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA), headed by Old Liberal Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre, His budgets rose from $400 million to more than $1 billion annually, and the country's cumulative deficit grew to $555 million. Tax dodging by the privileged was flagrant, but Bela...
Charles de Gaulle's government is squirming over a new affront to French pride - and this time the transgressor is a Frenchman, Pierre Bercot, the imperious head of Citroën, France's second biggest automaker. Climaxing months of secret negotiations, Bercot revealed plans last week for a union of his ailing company with Fiat, the Italian automaker that ranks fourth in the world, behind only the U.S. Big Three. "It is not a question of Citroën's troubles," Bercot said, "but the problem of the entire European automobile industry." That problem, as the French...
Much to the chagrin of the De Gaulle government, which was caught by surprise when Chrysler took over faltering Simca in 1963, a French solution for Citroën's problem seems remote. Bercot insists that his company will "not fall under Fiat control"-"but what he has negotiated is not too far short of a Fiat takeover. According to the reported agreement, Fiat will buy a 30% interest in Citroën, presumably from the tiremaking Michelin family, which holds 56% of Citroën. Fiat would then reduce Citroën's dangerous $100 million-plus...
