Last year Rollei's 1,700 workers turned out 90,000 cameras. And they are constantly working on new products, including half a dozen strobe guns, projectors and camera models to be introduced by June. In fact, about the only old family tradition other than quality that is still honored at Rollei is secrecy about earnings. Peesel says that "the whole camera world would scream if I told what we're making." And it isn't Braunschweiger...
Chappaqua by Conrad Rooks. In a decade where drugs are commonly associated with cinema in terms of strange optical effects, whirling patterns of color, and strobe-lit copulation, Conrad Rooks' Chappaqua appears almost ascetic, carefully constructed and disciplined.

...City Opera's new Coq d'Or offered a lot more to see and hear. Designers Ming Cho Lee and Jose Varona filled the New York State Theater stage with a zany array of colors and shapes, set off from time to time by flickering strobe lights and blats from offstage brass players. Soprano Beverly Sills and Bass-Baritone Norman Treigle curved their pliant voices brilliantly around the sinuous Rimsky-Korsakov melodies, and the results restored to life a witty, fantastic and unduly neglected score...
