...began his career as a talented prankster. In his famous opera Neues vom Tage (News of the Day), he reversed all the conventional numbers; a hate duet replaced a love duet and a divorce ensemble took the place of a wedding march. He also wrote a one-act opera, Das Nusch-Nuschi, designed it for performance by Burmese marionettes, and worked in a parody of Tristan that outraged loyal Wagnerians. Since those high old days of the 1920s, Paul Hindemith has turned more serious, and his enormous output (including such masterpieces as the opera Mathis der Maler, the symphonies Symphonische...
Spots on the Surface. Children produce compositions by placing paper over coins and rubbing the paper with a pencil; Ernst has used the same technique, jrot-tage, to inspire him. But whatever he takes an impression of-perhaps the sinuous grain of a piece of wood-is merely a ''starting point, a surface with some spots on it on which the imagination can play...
...country in Europe. The Conservatives gamely demanded that both taxes and pensions be slashed. The Liberals could bring themselves to demand only tax cuts; social benefits, they said, should be left untouched.

Reverse Pump. The most widely accepted model, developed by Sweden's Dr. Tage Malmstrom, consists of a metal cup with a rubber hose (part of which serves as a handle) leading to an ordinary bicycle pump with a reverse valve so that it pumps air out instead of in. Drs. James A. Chalmers and Roger J. Fothergill, in the British Medical Journal, report use of the gadget in 100 cases at Worcester. The metal cup is inserted in the opening of the birth canal and applied to the baby's skull. Pressure is reduced to half an atmosphere...
Sweden has been enjoying it both ways. The spirit behind Sweden's elaborate welfare state comes from a quarter of a century of Socialist rule, but the money that supports it is provided by an economy that is almost entirely capitalist free enterprise. Last year Socialist Premier Tage Erlander promised even more welfare benefits on the easy, easy. He proposed legislation to guarantee workers over 67 years old a lifetime pension amounting to two-thirds of their average earnings at the peak 15 years of their working lives. Who would pay? Why, employers would bear the costs, getting...
