...worst, free jazz borders on bedlam. At its best-as in the Newport concerts of Taylor and Coleman-the music has internal rhythms and themes that give it direction. For 50 minutes, Taylor-hallmark shades and knit cap in place-and his sidemen wrapped Carnegie Hall in a solid sheet of sound, each member of the group swapping and developing ideas from the others. A frenzied, virtuoso performer, Taylor roiled tempests on the bass of the piano, then modulated into short phrases and lyrical passages that contained echoes of Bartók and Debussy...
...conglomerates LTV Corp. and Lykes Corp. have argued fiercely that the only alternative to their planned merger was Lykes' bankruptcy and the layoff of thousands of steelworkers. But antitrust officials objected that even the marriage of two money losers. LTV's Jones & Laughlin and Lykes' Youngstown Sheet and Tube, would reduce steel competition. In the end, it came down to a very close personal decision by Attorney General Griffin Bell. Last week, overruling his staff, he approved the deal by which LTV (sales last year: $4.7 billion) will acquire Lykes for about $200 million in stock...

Her gloves had stiffened with his blood and she gave one of her hands to "this policeman," and he pulled the glove off. Then: "... the ring was all blood-stained ... so I put the ring on Jack's finger ... and then I kissed his hand...
...Department of Energy distributes free teaching aids for schools. Among them are an impressive array of questionnaires accompanied by answer sheets. An example: a sheet showing three pictures of homes asks, "What's Wrong Here?" The sketches depict, among other things, open windows in the middle of winter, a running water faucet and one passenger in a car. For small kids, there are wall posters with cartoons showing what should be done to save: drive small cars, observe the 55-m.p.h. limit, keep the home heat below 70° and take showers rather than soaking in a tub full...
