...this time, Ian, a nondescript clerk, had met Myra, 18, a typist who soon began moonlighting for Ian as a sadist's apprentice. When their parlor perversities and homemade dirty photographs began to pall, there was very little left to do but to test De Sade's theory: "Murder is a hobby and a supreme pleasure." A young corpse a year, with frequent visits to the graves on the moors, kept Ian and Myra reasonably serene but leaves Williams feverishly laying out plot and explication like a row of tombstones.* He points, he nudges, he oohs...

Its home, in a nondescript 3½-story building on Manhattan's Lower East Side, is a honeycomb of workshops intended to serve both experienced and fledgling actors, and would-be playwrights and directors.

Not until 1962 did the company turn all that enterprise toward pure profitmaking. In that year, Rumanian-born Eduard Zimmermann, now 38, who rose from a nondescript post as a translator for a Russian-East German shipping control board, was named VEB's general director. Zimmermann cast aside a good many Communist shibboleths. Under him, East Germany has modernized shipyards and ports, built mechanized ships, gained an expanding share of East-bloc shipping...
