...crowd, I don't look and say, 'There's a Negro, there's a Greek, there's a Polack.' " Or when his aide, C. D. Ward, barreled through a glass door at San Clemente and ended up with permanent facial scars; for fun, Agnew started calling him "Wolfgang...
Bill Graham is a solid, no-nonsense name for a dynamic businessman who in the past four years has made himself a millionaire, acquired a Mercedes, a 29-year-old wife, a baby boy, and offices in both San Francisco and Manhattan. Wolfgang Grajonca, on the other hand, seems a more appropriate title for a temperamental typhoon of promotional creativity, whose obscenity-flavored conversation often builds to a scream, whose business conferences are likely to explode into happenings, and whose office costume usually consists of dirty corduroys and a short-sleeved sweatshirt.

Beautiful Evening. Capitalist Bill Graham was born in 1931 to Russian parents who had moved to Berlin only a few years before. Two days after his birth, his father was killed in an accident.

This summer, in an attempt to recapture Wieland's spirit of adventure, Wolfgang relaxed the family's autocratic grip on Wagner's monument by allowing Director August Everding and Designer Josef Svoboda to stage The Flying Dutchman. Everding, 40, is the di rector of Munich's Kammerspiele, one of Europe's most highly regarded repertory theaters. Czechoslovak Svoboda, 49, is famed both for his mastery of lighting techniques (he was one of the leading figures of Prague's celebrated Laterna Magika) and for startling stage designs (TIME, July...
