Schaap had no intention of becoming a latter-day Dumas when he agreed to edit the tape-recorded diary of a professional football player in early 1967. But when that exercise resulted in Instant Replay: The Green Bay Diary of Jerry Kramer, breaking sales records for a sports book (over 2,000,000 copies in print), Schaap took to buying his recording tape wholesale and signed up a whole new bibliography of authors...

'Cause I Get Better-Looking Every Day, the Joe Namath biography that Schaap culled from some 50 tape hours of Broadway Joe's reflections...

Electronic composers "write" on tape; their music was never intended for the traditional concert hall. "The trouble with the concert hall," says California's electronic composer Morton Subotnick, "is that it requires a social and theatrical esthetic that really has nothing to do with our music." Germany's Karlheinz Stockhausen...
