...Deep Tsai. Eight funds actually declined in value. Among them was Gerald Tsai's $454 million Manhattan Fund. It rose 39% in 1967 but slumped nearly 7% in 1968-to wind up at the very bottom of the list. Though Tsai's 1967 performance was certainly above average, many investors expected much greater growth; in 1968, his fund was hit with higher than normal redemptions...
From the ceiling hangs a huge mobile by Britain's Gordon Pask that responds electronically to lights flashed on it by visitors. Wen Ying Tsai's sonically activated bed of strobe-lit steel rods sways to each clap of the viewer's hands. Taped sounds of computer-composed music fill the air, and computer-made poetry is on view. Some of it reads rather like Alice in Wonderland as rewritten by Charles Olson...
...human, was needed; the computer did no more than fill in the requested dots and lines. No genuinely observant viewer could ever confuse a vibrant Riley or a vertigo-inducing Steele painting with the computer's dry, mechanical variants on the original works.

...knew just how bad the situation really was. What was clear was that more and more elements of the army were siding with the anti-Maoists in the provinces in a spreading disaffection directly traceable to the by-now-famed incident in Wuhan. There, three weeks ago, General Chen Tsai-tao, whose command includes the vital Yangtze River hub city, seized two top Mao emissaries sent from Peking to bring Chen to heel. Peking negotiated the pair's release; but despite frantic efforts since then, Mao has been unable to subdue the open rebellion in Wuhan...
