...many appliances that he has been forced to have a "demand meter" (made by Westinghouse) installed, and pay a premium for the extra current, because it is an added load during the utility company's peak period. The ten-room house, tucked away in ten acres of woodland just eight miles west of Pittsburgh, was built by the Prices 16 years ago. Price always arrives with a bulging briefcase, but his wife tries to keep him from opening it and usually succeeds...
...Cummings says he is glad he is not younger; his generation had something to revolt against, the new generations have only anarchy. He spends his summers on a farm in New Hampshire, inherited from his mother. There are over 300 acres of woodland, which he has left strictly alone. On a long screened-in porch facing the mountains of the Sandwich Range, he and Mrs. Cummings take their meals. There is no electricity, and at night reading is done by kerosene lamplight. For trips to the village he drives a 1929 Ford sedan, upholstered and roomy as an old-fashioned...
Ballots v. Fireworks. Yet Ichiro Ishikawa had troubles. Once he had owned more than three acres of forest land, paddies and dry rice field. The U.S. occupiers had taken his woodland for SCAP's land reform program. Then, in drinking and gambling on flower cards, Ichiro had lost all but half an acre of the rice land. He had to hire out to other villagers. Still, he had a docile, hard-working wife and three fine daughters, of whom his special pride was the middle one, Satsuki (May Moon).

Erwartung's one-act story is somber, not to say macabre: a woman sings her innermost thoughts as she goes to a woodland tryst, stumbles over the dead body of her lover. The score sounds something like that of Alban Berg's Wozzeck, it is introverted and complex, but it succeeds in expressing terror and, surprisingly, tenderness. Soprano Dow, who comes from Texas, may not have so much Weltschmerz in her polished...
...make the move, the U.S. has spent nearly $25 million to build a Westchester-on-the-Rhine on several acres of apple orchards and woodland in Bad Godesberg, a suburb on the southern edge of Bonn. For HICOG headquarters, there is a seven-section concrete and glass structure with a 1,500-seat cafeteria and a 100,000-volume library. Four miles away stands a cluster of new two-story apartment houses, 458 apartments in all, each furnished down to the last curtain, dessert spoon and teacup. They range from tasteful bedroom, living room, kitchen combinations for bachelors to four...
