...Brazil, a little more light was shed upon some of its shadowy supporting players. Wolfgang Gerhard, who seemed to have been Pedro's ubiquitous fixer, was, said Austrian Consul-General Otto Heller in Sao Paulo, a fanatic Nazi who brought out a fascist propaganda sheet called Der Reichsbrief (The Reich Letter). By the age of twelve, Gerhard had become a member of the Hitler Youth and later boasted of being a committed Nazi. Nonetheless, in the Austrian town of Graz last week, Gerhard's 26-year- old son Adolf firmly rejected the stories told of his father by the Bosserts...
...anomaly. Born in 1911 into the affluent family that controlled Gunzburg's main industry, Josef mastered his studies with ease and by his mid-20s had earned doctor of philosophy and medical degrees. After World War II broke out, Mengele decided that he could best serve Hitler's Reich as an SS doctor. In 1943 he was assigned to Auschwitz-Birkenau...
Glass returned at a time of remarkable artistic ferment (see box). In the late '60s Reich, a Juilliard classmate, had codified early minimalist theory in such works as It's Gonna Rain and Come Out. Wilson was staging The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud. Minimalist Sculptor Richard Serra (see ART), an acquaintance from Paris, was preparing a one-man exhibition in New York. Reich had already formed an ensemble, and he and Glass sometimes joined forces. A pair of 1969 concerts at the Whitney Museum of American Art attracted public and critical attention to the burgeoning phenomenon of minimalism...
...West Broadway in SoHo, for example, might encounter minimalist sculpture by Don Judd and Richard Serra or hear Glass's new sounds in concert.

Composer Steve Reich had already experimented with out-of-sync tape loops in pieces like Come Out; Choreographer Childs had created her early works, like Street Dance. "No one organized an official group or issued a manifesto, as would have occurred in Europe," says John Howell, a New York % journalist who was part...
...former have-not inhabitants have also become chic. Anderson has forsaken the streets for major concert halls like the Brooklyn Academy, where in 1983 she performed her six-hour multimedia epic, United States, Parts I-IV. Wilson directed Marc-Antoine Charpentier's baroque opera Medee last fall in France; Reich's music has been performed by major orchestras from San Francisco to Cologne. The next extraordinary concentration of creative artists is now probably taking shape. Wherever it turns out to be, it should be compared not with Paris in the '20s but to New York City just a decade...
