...these ads aren't just evidence of her popular success, but another means of expression. The unique nature of her work makes it irreducible to any single medium. Anderson herself comes as close to describing it as anyone: "Laurie Anderson has been baffling audiences for years with her special blend of music, slides, films, tapes, films (did I say films?), hand gestures, and more...
UNLIKE LAST YEAR, Page and Rodgers are learning to blend their talents and create solid music. What is still missing, unfortunately, is true creativity. Page should contribute more than he does here, relieving Rodgers of the main songwriting burden. Page should also use his experience as Zep's board man and take over the production, currently shared by Page and Rodgers.

...former top aides have quit to profit off Big Government as influence peddlers. None has been more successful more swiftly than Reagan's former deputy chief of staff Michael Deaver, who may multiply his White House income sixfold in his first year out of government by offering the nebulous blend of access, influence and advice that has become so valued in Washington (see box).

Grigory Romanov, the Politburo member responsible for the Soviet Union's military-industrial complex, who reportedly tried to block Gorbachev's rise to power and became the target of a whispering campaign about alleged alcoholism, retired from the Politburo last July.

Last month Admiral Sergei Gorshkov, who had commanded the Soviet navy since 1956, was replaced. Nikolai Tikhonov, who had been Premier since...
...drama lies in the confrontation between the acoustic and the amplified instruments. Ghostly trills float above rumbling repeated figures, brasses punch out long discordant lines, and the shimmering whoosh of woodwinds fills the air. Repons is a journey into the soul of the 20th century, a harsh but exhilarating blend of music and machine. Its only flaw is that it does not go far enough. In 1981, when Boulez premiered the first 18 minutes of the work, the technology was still largely untried. What Repons needs now is to live up even better to its name, to offer a greater...
