Back to Selb. More than the patterns have changed at Rosenthal. With sales last year of $20.6 million. Rosenthal proudly claims that it is the world's largest china "publisher." Founded in 1879, the company was taken away from Philipp Rosenthal in 1938 when the Nazis "Aryanized" German industry. His son Philip, then a student at Oxford, renounced his German citizenship. When war came, he joined the Foreign Legion, ultimately linked up with British intelligence and became a British subject. After the war, young Rosenthal, now 46, returned to the company's headquarters in the Bavarian village...
...Archbishop of Magdeburg and Mainz, and let it go at that. Iserloh points out that the writings of Luther himself never mentioned nailing the theses on a door; the first record of the story, in fact, was written after the heretic's death in 1546 by his disciple, Philipp Melanchthon, who was nowhere near Wittenberg at the time. Iserloh also cites a letter Luther wrote to Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, in 1518, stating firmly that "no one knew of my intentionto dispute-not even my best friends...
Thames was not even Mozart's idea. Conceived by a wealthy dilettante named Tobias Philipp von Gebler and scored by an obscure schoolmaster, the thing was such a botch that Gebler, taking a friend's advice, paid Mozart to write a new score.

Nevertheless, Thames talked itself to death, closed shortly after its premiere in Vienna...

Last week, to expand its toehold in the U.S. chemical market, Montecatini bought for an estimated $5.7 million a 4% interest in New Jersey's Minerals and Chemicals-Philipp Corp. As part of the deal-which is designed to produce transatlantic cooperation in mining, manufacturing and merchandising-Giustiniani got a seat on the Minerals and Chemicals board. Somewhat ruefully, Italian colleagues predict that American directors will find simpatico Giustiniani's habit of working 13 hours...
...Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (third son of Johann Sebastian) described the pitfalls of harpsichord playing, adding that a good harpsichord performer must have "das Schnellen" (the snap), achieved by imitating with one's fingers the leg action of a chicken scratching the ground. Despite such difficulties (experts figure that not one harpsichord player in a hundred had his Schnellen properly under control), the U.S. is in the grip of a major harpsichord boom, fostered by such players as Ralph Kirkpatrick, Sylvia Marlowe, Fernando Valenti and the late great Wanda Landowska...
