...thick dark hair. When the concert is over he tries to follow her home, but the subway swallows her up. At the next concert she smiles absently in his direction-Antoine reels with bliss. At the next she actually speaks to him-Antoine has found his Cléopâtre. Colette, on the other hand, has merely found a nice polite boy who works in a phonograph-record factory and likes to talk about music, small for his age of course and a bit slow growing up but all the same good company for a girl who never...
...program which Adams House presented on Wednesday night seemed at the start totally miscellaneous. The Beethoven Violin Sonata, Op.96, opened it, the Schoenberg String Trio, Op. 45 followed, and the second half plunged into the electronic music of Cage, Mache and Schaeffer. But all the pieces closely complemented each other, for the modern works were all intent upon evoking a sense of enigmatic direction, of thoughtful uncertainty, and the Beethoven at least approached them by using an unusual formal scheme. Listening to all this raised the important question of what should determine taste within so free a style...

...fact, some of Manhattan's speculative builders have plainly overreached themselves. Though buildings with names like Something East or Something Tower or Something House continue to push up like hoarfrost, and ask staggering prices (one recently built co-op on Fifth Avenue wants $129,940 for a seven-room apartment, and $18,576 a year maintenance), some of the tinder-traps-on-Hudson are finding it hard to land customers. Apartment seekers frequently are offered half a year's rent free as a lure. The older, more substantial buildings with high ceilings, soundproof walls, and proper entrance halls...
...will be on cooperatives, such as the ones which have produced scores of big apartment houses in Moscow. When a group of tenants have raised 40% of the building cost among themselves, the state Construction Bank provides long-term (ten to 15 years) loans for the rest. The co-op system has one obvious advantage for the regime: the people will wind up paying for their own housing, releasing badly needed funds for the government to invest in heavy industry and the lagging agricultural program...
