Future historians may find it convenient to date the end of the Rock Era as the last week of April 1971. It came with neither bang nor whimper -only the booming, Bronxoid voice of Wolfgang Grajonca, better known as Bill Graham, announcing that he had had it. Graham is closing down Manhattan's Fillmore East (this summer) and San Francisco's Fillmore West (next fall)-the two cathedrals of the loud, hard-driving sound that for a memorable decade has been the soul of youth's counterculture. The reason Graham gave was that rock had gained...
...same time. In Marcia Haydée (Carmen), Richard Cragun (the Toreador) and Egon Madsen (Don José), Cranko could field a trio whose ability to project feeling into narrative ballet can hardly be matched. What went wrong was the music. Scorning Bizet, Cranko got German Composer Wolfgang Fortner to produce a dreadful, cacophonous "Bizet collage" incapable of sustaining any nuance of emotion. Worse, the score picked up a bar or two of familiar melody, only to distort it unrecognizably or drown it in a dissonant morass...
...case, that means maiming, murdering or brutalizing what seems like half the population of Newcastle-a process Hodges shows in elaborate and gory detail.

Neither Hodges nor anyone else connected with the film seems to have understood that Chandler's private eye, Philip Marlowe, is really a knight...
...extra free performance of the Schoenberg Violin Concerto to all holders of subscription tickets. Even with Zeitlin and Czech Conductor Karel Ancerl donating their services, as they offered to do, the concert would cost I.P.O. $5,000 to put on. "But it will be worth it," said Philharmonic Spokesman Wolfgang Lewy, "just to see how many people will turn out. Besides, the orchestra has an intellectual responsibility to play modern music, even if we do not always enjoy...
...message was coded in amino acid chains called peptides, which are small proteins. Finally, he narrowed the search to a single peptide-consisting of a sequence of 15 amino acids-that he named scotophobin, from the Greek words for dark and fear. To check his conclusion, Ungar asked Wolfgang Parr, a University of Houston chemist, to duplicate scotophobin using only off-the-shelf chemicals. The synthetic variety differed slightly from the natural chemical produced in the brains of fear-induced rats, says Ungar, but it was still sufficiently potent to make nighttime cowards of most normal rats and mice...
