...short piano pieces by Bertram Baldwin and David Behrman (a violin also entered Mr. Behrman's piece for a while). There were row structures, not so elaborate as Wolff's, but complicated enough to be hardly perceptible. The avant-garde leader Boulez would tell us that structure has gone underground. But does this subterreanean structure really give shape to a piece, or does it happen accidentally, or not at all? In a short composition like Baldwin's it is easier to give a sense of cohesiveness; this piece, rather aptly titled Conversations with Gryllus in August, was a collection...
...onerous restrictions, so that Makarios and Turkish Cypriot leaders would find it easier to sell the compromise plan to a doubting populace. Swallowing hard, the British proclaimed an amnesty that assures safe-conduct to Greece for Colonel George Grivas, wispy, 60-year-old leader of the Greek Cypriot terrorist underground organization EOKA, along "with anyone he may wish to take with him."

Would he be pardoned by the British, sit down with them as Makarios' Defense Minister, and regale NATO councils with advice on how to wage guerrilla war? What would happen to the island's strained...
Back of the aggravation was a history of near financial disaster which began three years ago with Bishop Theas' approval of costly plans for a new underground basilica in Lourdes. To pay for the $2,800,000 structure, the bishop borrowed from bankers against future donations from pilgrims. But no sooner was ground broken than floods threatened to sweep away the foundations; the cost of repairs doubled the final estimate to some $5,600,000. With half the original funds already spent, Théas again applied to the bankers, but was turned down...
