...TREADER (Columbia). Ruggles spent six years on his symphony, which had its premiere in Paris in 1932 and in the U.S. only last month. Like his more prolific friend and fellow Yankee, the late Charles Ives, Ruggles writes dissonant but cogent and original music. Sun Treader is a sober, seamless, one-movement tribute to a tragic hero, for thus Browning addressed Shelley eleven years after he was drowned ("Sun-treader, life and light be thine forever!"). Performed by the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Zoltan Rozsnyai conducting...

...unfailing courtesy. "I never give orders," he once said. "I sell my ideas to my associates if I can." He generally could, and many of his ideas still stand as guiding principles for G.M.

Eliade shows how many otherwise disparate faiths offer similar experiences of the "inner light." Although defined and explained differently by various religions, these experiences all represent radical breaks...
...Lockheed's biggest intangible asset, Vice President (for Advanced Projects) Clarence L. ("Kelly") Johnson, a $114,507-a-year (including bonuses) design genius who bosses the Burbank "skunk works," where Lockheed keeps its surprises a secret. Broadnosed, with piercing blue eyes and a bubbling humor, Johnson resembles a sober W. C. Fields. He decided to become a plane builder at twelve, joined Lockheed as soon as he won a master's in aeronautics from the University of Michigan. His drawing-board magic has created 19 of Lockheed's famed planes. Among them: the Hudson bomber...
