...Often there is no room at first for a 'loyal opposition,' for its sole aim after independence could only be overthrow of the independence movement itself," says Tanganyika's Nyerere. Mboya, too, is a professed democrat, but he does not guarantee that pure Western-style freedom can be achieved. "I am flattered by those who demand perfection from us," he says. "The paraphernalia of Western democracy are not necessarily best suited for Africa . . . New nations are bound to experiment with the institutions they inherit...
...work, the concerto utilizes eerie chord clusters and precisely graduated effects of drums and cymbals ("Hit the snare at the rim and move gradually in towards the center," says the score at one point) to produce sounds as weird as anything in the world of electronic music. The first movement in last week's performance built to a climax with express-train power.

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 intellectual excitement about construction. The son of a Cincinnati pantsmaker...
