...Twittering Machine, which looks something like an inverted mobile from which fishing lures have been suspended, inspired Schuller to a snatch of serial music in which the orchestra beeped, squeaked and rasped like a rusty hinge while the muted brasses burped out shreds of sound. Little Blue Devil, a complex of overlapping triangles, rectangles and pentagons, suggested a perky blues mood. Arab Village, an aerial view in yellows and browns, inspired Schuller to write a theme resembling nothing so much as the casbah scene in an early Ronald Colman movie...
...still moving too slowly and doing too inadequate a job," said Paul Swens-son, managing editor of the Minneapolis Star, last week. "We have shown a willingness to expand manpower, devote more space and tackle the complex side-the philosophy rather than just the business -of education.

Two days later the PD, in its ice-cold charity, followed up with another Prince piece, repeating the same facts and adding a few of even less...
CONSTRUCTION of the building will be inordinately complex. During it, traffic must flow on the railroad tracks beneath, on the motor ramps that now cut into the present building. Much of the work will have to be done at night, and materials will have to be hauled underground by flatcar, operations coordinated on a split-second schedule with the movement of trains into and out of the terminal. Says Wolfson: "Problems are normal on my job. There will be just a few more here, but it doesn't bother us." Wolfson's philosophical calm conceals a genuine, almost...
