...booster spirit is backed by other encouraging figures. Most Warner cassettes contain a questionnaire asking the consumer for personal information, preferences and tastes; last year 200,000 responses were returned. They form the first profile of an audio market that according to computer projections, will yield industry-wide sales of more than $250 million in 1986. After all, analysts point out, most new-car manufacturers offer the option of a tape deck, and Walkman-style cassette players have become as much a part of the urban landscape as Reeboks and Perrier. Each tape deck and set of earphones represents...
...knight-errant was the right figure for him. Kokoschka had to work in Germany because the decorative traditions of Vienna could not, in the end, contain the intensity he wanted to project into painting. And just as surely, he had to leave Germany because of Hitler. In 1937 he painted a big-jawed self portrait, titled Portrait of a "Degenerate Artist," which commemorated his inclusion in the Nazi exhibition of "Degenerate Art." A figure among the trees, in the background on the left, sketchily furnishes the key: it is the Adam from Masaccio's Expulsion from Paradise. Kokoschka was being...
...surprising, then, that CBS decided to re-release Gould recordings of Romantic-era music as the third volume of its ongoing Glenn Gould Legacy series. (The first two volumes contain music of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn; a fourth, of 20th century works, will be released in September.)

...medical examiner's office after his wife died unexpectedly June 11, "but Sue opened a new bottle of Excedrin capsules this morning and took two." Tragically, it was important. The bottle opened by Sue Snow, a 40-year-old banker from the Seattle suburb of Auburn, was found to contain three capsules laced with cyanide. When county officials released the bottle's lot number, Auburn Neighbor Stella Nickell, whose husband died June 5, called police with more bad news. Bruce Nickell's death, linked originally to natural causes, was reattributed to cyanide poisoning. In response, Bristol-Myers, Excedrin's manufacturer...
...from mayor of Bogota to Ambassador to Washington, must now confront the Betancur legacy. High on the new President's agenda: the continuing terrorist attacks, growing pressure from the U.S. to clamp down on illicit drug traffic, and a 13.4% unemployment rate. Barco will have to move quickly to contain the proliferating drug business. He has already pledged support for programs to eradicate the coca plant, which provides the raw material for cocaine, and he has indicated to Washington that he will cooperate with efforts to extradite Colombians accused of drug trafficking...
