...German Gesammelte Worke of Brecht, and contains variant readings for all the plays, as well as the author's notes on the performance, conception, and meaning of each play. The plays have been translated by a number of people, and the quality of the translations is vastly uneven. William Smith and Ralph Manheim, who translated Baal, Drums in the Night, and The Life of Edward the Second of England, have not done justice to Brecht. Their translations, although technically accurate, are not performable. They have left the Baal's monologues in a kind of stilted, Germanic English which no actor...
...loner and a maverick who disdains the Senate "club" way of conducting business, and as a result, his effectiveness as a legislator has been uneven. Proxmire came to the Senate in 1957 after winning a special election to fill the seat vacated by Joseph McCarthy's death. His committee assignments included Banking and Currency, Post Office and Civil Service, which he used to help shape his reputation as one of the chief watchdogs of Government waste...

To be sure, Communism scored great accomplishments in turning backward Russia into a major industrial power in half a century, with a G.N.P. approaching $600 billion.

Specialization demands decentralization. No single, central planning agency can fine-tune a diversified modern economy. The industrialized world has passed into a new and more mature technological stage in which...
...Mendelssohn (Victrola). A superstar born in 1876 to the grand romantic tradition. Hofmann never officially released a commercial studio recording after 1924. In May 1935, however, when he was still at peak form, Hofmann made some test recordings for Victor, now released for the first time. The sound is uneven, but the first movement of Chopin's B-Minor Sonata is a matchless example of the controlled give and take he brought to large-scale works. The Chopin-Liszt Maiden's Wish shows how delicate he could be at painting musical miniatures...
...shooting was fairly uneven as the Crimson got off 33 shots to Brown's 20, but shooting statistics are fairly meaningless where Brown is concerned...
