...Geophysical Year, its is the biggest and most ambitious. The Soviet Union has the largest (10 billion synchrocyclotron volts) particle accelerator in the world-nearly twice as powerful as the one at Berkeley, Calif., though it has not yet lived up to its expensive expectations. Russia put its first pure-jet airliner into operation two years and more before the U.S., and M.I.T. Physicist Jerome B. Wiesner, who helped develop some of the advanced radar for the DEW line, has warned that Russia's air-defense system "appears to be better than...

In fact, says Davis, the work is pure composition. The title Composition Concreète refers to "concrete music"-sounds recorded on tape, which is cut and spliced in patterns to make a composition. This emphasis is not surprising from Stuart Davis, who says that jazz is his greatest inspiration...
