...Piano." Like Tennis Player Hoad, explained the critic, Cherkassky was "capable of astonishing feats and of hardly less astonishing lapses." Cherkassky's feats, like Hoad's, have so outnumbered his lapses that he has become one of the most sought-after artists on the European concert circuit. Last week he demonstrated why: with service under firm control and ground strokes booming, he swept through a performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic, that had critics groping for superlatives...
...twelve years, and few U.S. concertgoers can even recall his early U.S. career. Son of an Odessa dentist, Shura emigrated to the U.S. with his family when he was eleven, made his concert debut in Baltimore when he was twelve, but never really succeeded on the concert circuit. At war's end, just as a whole new generation of pianists was growing up, Cherkassky headed for Europe, where he now gives about 80 concerts per season, is booked as long as five years in advance.

Future Problems. Toll TV's opponents, who tried to convince the FCC that even a test of pay TV must be avoided at all costs, could do little about Etobicoke. The Canadian town is not only outside FCC jurisdiction, but the Telemeter closed-circuit system uses leased cables, not the public air waves. Affirmative results are piling up. Of 13,000 homes that are potential FeeVee customers, close to 4,000 have subscribed (initial fee: $5). New installations of the coin boxes-they fit any standard TV set-are going on at the rate of 100 a day. With...
