...much for Stockhausen's notes on the album cover as for the music itself. Not that the composer writes revealingly about his art ("All the Piano Pieces V-X are characterized by groups of notes around nuclear notes, occurring before, with or after them."). Instead, he spends the space discussing the fascinating food his soloist, Aloys Kontarsky, consumed on the days when the album was being recorded. On the groaning board: jugged deer with Spdtzle; marrow consomme; steak Tartare; saltimbocca romana ("He sent the rice back"); Movenpick ice-cream tart; Haldengut Pilsen beer; Cognac; Coca-Cola; Johannisberg wine...
...required to fold forward to make the exits reachable. After investigating 18 survivable accidents, however, the FAA discovered that few passengers were aware of the fold-down procedure. From now on, areas adjacent to emergency exits will be kept completely clear of seats. The FAA estimates that total seat space will be reduced 4% by this change, and by another order that clear space must also be provided for stewardesses to station themselves beside the doors. The cost, say the airlines, may be as much as $700,000,000 less in passenger revenue. But Deputy FAA Administrator Clifford Walker...
That is his main point of attack on the government-sponsored studies which the National Aeronautics and Space Administration uses to prove that people can in fact adjust to the sonic boom. The study which NASA quotes most often, by Bolt, Beranek and Newman, had subjects pushing buttons to activate an artificial boom-creating device. Although the artificial boom was as loud as a real one, the volunteers knew the boom would occur within five seconds after they pushed the button. Even among the fully-prepared subjects, almost half showed a marked increase in heart-beat as a result...

Sculpture beckons, as does real estate development. As for packaging, the number of products is rising so much faster than floor space in supermarkets that Snaith foresees the day when some items may have to be sold by a combination of TV, phone and computer. Some packages may have to shrink, says Snaith, and others may well be converted into something consumable-in other words, the wrapping will be edible...
...view, the new vessel will be equally modern. Except for a few special rooms at premium rates for status seekers, most of the 2,025 passengers will travel single-class. Their restaurants and lounges will all be topside, instead of in the bowels, and 75% of the cabin space will be on the sunlit outside of the ship...
