Faces of the Summit: 30 Years of High Drama

KENNEBUNKPORT, Me., May 27 - The news was a bit of a blow to Mr. Bush, who has been trying eagerly to do a little casual bonding with his more reserved Soviet counterpart.   Soviet and American aides agree that chemistry will be an important factor in this week's summit meeting as the leaders jockey to develop a trusting relationship, one that can help them move East-West relations beyond the cold war.   While the Presidents share a belief that they can use their personalities to shape foreign policy, they have fundamental differences in outlook and style, differences that have so far given their encounters a tentative feeling.   Buoyed by his approval rating at home, Mr. Bush is approaching the summit meeting with a sense of optimism and at times playfulness, as he did before the Malta session in December. But Mr. Gorbachev, faced with the intricate task of saving his country from economic ruin, takes a more somber view.

Julius Eastman was an American composer. He was among the first composers to combine the processes of some minimalist music with other methods of extending and modifying his music as in some experimental music. He thus created what he called "organic music". In compositions like Stay On It (1973), his melodic motifs were not unlike the catchy refrains of then pop music.
