...quartet music, limited to small halls, has a reputation as "difficult" listening. It has none of the sensational blare and boom of a symphony, its finely-spun lines are pared to essentials, requiring the listener's intense concentration; also, it lacks a conductor, whose dramatics an audience can follow. Today, the way for a quartet to establish a name is to play, of all things, modern music. Reason: it brings almost certain notoriety with the public, and awe with other musicians and critics. Paris' rising Parrenin Quartet* has done just that. Last week touring...
...Manhattan's Hansa Gallery on Central Park South, 22 of Stankiewicz's rusty iron weldings are on display this week in a one-man show. What they lack in elegance they often make up in wit.

When the satellite finally reaches space it may be followed on its orbit by a frail, light, short-lived companion. Developed by William J.

A small capsule of compressed dry nitrogen will expand the plastic to a sphere 20 in. in diameter, which will follow at first...

Private industry strongly believes that a smarter and cheaper way would be to let business do the job; the military should follow the trend in private business, where many firms no longer try to maintain such equipment as trucks or electronic machines, but rent the equipment, let outsiders maintain it. And though private wages are higher than service pay, the difference is not so great, considering the cost of training and supporting...
...World War I, had a recurring theme: man could revert to barbarism or adapt to civilization. Much of the fascination of London's work and life lay in the fact that he could never decide, for himself or for his characters, which footprints of what gigantic hound to follow-the wolf of the wilderness or the Saint Bernard of civilization...
