...Paul Taylor burst upon the dance world in 1957, but not quite in the way he had hoped. At 27 he was a member of Martha Graham's troupe and already experimenting on his own. Specifically he was trying to strip away the "dancerly" elements in the modern style, to get down to the basics. He and his hardworking group of three performed the results at the YM-YWHA in Manhattan, and a few weeks later Louis Horst in the influential Dance Observer weighed in with the definitive review: four inches of blank space followed by the author's initials...
...Paul Taylor Dance Company, 18 strong these days, is now presenting a repertory in New York City that demonstrates the vast resources of this protean figure. Soon two young dancers, David Parsons and Douglas Wright, will snip their puppet strings and try to become the Paul Taylors of the '90s. They had better read this book, not only for a preview of the pitfalls ahead, but also for an insight into the nonartistic qualities that just might come in handy: guts, humor and, above all, stamina...

Chu of the University of Houston. Chu had been studying superconductivity since 1965; now he and his group, including scientists from the University of Alabama, quickly reproduced the IBM results and moved on to their own experiments...
...branches. The Prime Minister said he had ordered the Finance Minister and the Bank of Japan to continue lowering interest rates to boost the Japanese economy and enable firms and consumers to buy more foreign products. The disclosure dovetailed neatly with congressional testimony last week by Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who said the U.S. central bank was moving to push American interest rates higher. At week's end major U.S. banks raised their prime rate from 7 3/4% to 8%. Taken together, the U.S. and Japanese actions will make it more attractive for investors to hold dollars and less...
