...After last month's national elections, Brandt made a daring grab for power (TIME Cover, Oct. 10). Neither his Social Democrats nor the conservative Christian Democratic Union, partners for nearly three years in a Grand Coalition, had won an outright majority. Outmaneuvering the Christian Democrats, who won 242 seats in the 496-seat Bundestag to the Socialists' 224, Brandt formed an alliance with the tiny Free Democrats, whose 30 seats represented the balance of power.

It houses 15 gigantic rehearsal rooms, three organ studios, 84 practice rooms, 30 private studios, two recital halls (including Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center's acoustically superb home for chamber music) and limitless vistas of plush, carpeted corridors and lobbies.

I didn't have much to offer in the way of an answer, but since everyone was looking at me as I sat there crunched in the back seat, I felt I had to say something. "Ah," I said. Actually, it was a pretty informative reply. After I got verbally castigated by my teammates, driver Dan pointed out that the home team is suposed to provide the ball...
