Had the talk come earlier, it might have given listeners a deeper appreciation, too, of 1986, New York Times Newt Service NEW YORK In a reversal of policy, the Defense Department is asserting its right to play a major role in the nation's orbiting space station because of a potential need to use it for research to develop a space-based defense against missiles, government officials said Friday. The decision threatened to jeopardize delicate diplomatic negotiations to arrange broad international cooperation in the project.

Western Europe, Japan and Canada have agreed in principle to provide financial support for the 8 billion station, but the Pentagon has asked the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to postpone further negotiations with foreign participants. Those talks had been sched- uled for mid-January. The Defense Department's action marked a further intrusion of the armed forces into the nation's civilian space program, especially since the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. Pentagon officials said that a new "defense space policy," expected to be issued soon, would encourage a greater emphasis on manned, military space operations. In part to conduct experiments for the anti-missile program.

The program is commonly called Star Wars; President Ronald Reagan calls it his Strategic Defense Initiative. Until now, the Pentagon had disavowed any interest in using the space station, contending that it could not Identify any important military missions in the foreseeable future. And NASA, in its negotiations with potential foreign partners in the project, stressed that the orbiting space station, planned to be deployed in 1994, would be a research laboratory dedicated to peaceful purposes. died of cancer Thursday at the home of a daughter, Sharon Cooper, in Greene Joseph McKeage; Post-Dispatch Printer A funeral Mass for Joseph A.

Men Find Unidentified Woman's Body Charlotte Smith; Funeral Set For Monday ReviewNew Music By James Wierzbicki Post-Dispatch Music Critic St. Louis electronic music compos-' er Tom Hamilton said a great deal about his own music and about contemporary music in general in the brief talk that separated the two halves of the concert he presented Thursday evening as part of the First Street Forum's "Messages from the Right Side of the Brain" series at Sheldon Memorial. He made no attempt to explain the workings of the computer programs that served as the primary "instruments" for the two pieces that were performed live. Nor did he say much about the collaborative processes that resulted in the 1982 "Best Value We've Seen Yet," in which Hamilton's music accompanies a 10-minute video by Morey Gers, or the 1980 "The Red Tree," in which three of Hamilton's studio-produced pieces from the mid-to-late '70s form the sound track for a film by Roy Zurick. But he did state lucidly the sometimes forgotten fact that while most traditional music is linear in design, much modern music including his is not.

"I don't write melodies that go from here to there," he told the near-capacity audience. "I create patterns and hierarchies, and then I superimpose these over one another. The individual notes are not composed one at a time; they simply result from the overlays of the patterns." He also mentioned an image that figures strongly in his own composi-' tional activity. "I call it 'listening through a Hamilton said. "Each listener creates a window for himself.

It can be as small as one wants it to be, focused on however much of the music the listener feels comfortable with. But, as a composer, I want to make sure that the listener can hear activity interesting activity through even the smallest window." Those remarks were made just before Hamilton presented his new "No Rest for the Wicked," an. 11-minute The body of an unidentified woman was found early Friday along a highway near Marine, in Madison County. Madison County Sheriff Bob Chur-chich said the woman, in her mid-20s, had been strangled. He said she probably had been raped and beaten before being thrown from a car.

The body was found on the shoulder of the entrance ramp from Illinois Route 4 on to Interstate 70. The killing brings the number of murders in Madison County to 26, a record, said county coroner Dallas Burke. The previous record was 20 murders, in 1980, she said. The woman's body was found by some men who were driving by about 1 a.m. Friday, Churchich said.

The woman was wearing a long-sleeve red dress, Churchich said. She had no jewelry and no identification, he said. The woman was described as 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing about 100 pounds, with shoulder-length, brown hair, hazel eyes and surgical scars on her right hip and her right knee, police said. A funeral service for Charlotte Sibley Harwood Smith will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday at Our Lady of the Pillar Catholic Church, 401 South Lindbergh Boulevard in Creve Coeur.

Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery. Mrs. Smith, 76, of St. Louis, died Thursday of cancer at Deaconess Hospital. Mrs.

Smith was the wife of Philip Piatt Smith, a retired president of the old Lucky Club a flavors and extract company in St. Louis. Surviving in addition to her husband are a daughter, Margaret Crenshaw Arundel of The Plains, and five grandchildren. "One on Three, Two on Two, a shorter but similarly scored solo In which the program-instrument was Laurie Spiegel's "Music Mouse." Both works, however, were accessible enough not to require verbal explication. Each of them began with short, pointillistic statements that introduced a basic sonority, something along the lines of a metallic clavichord in the case of "One on Three," a variety of organ-like tones in the case of "No Rest." Then the sounds came in closer succession.

Then other sounds, only slightly different from their predecessors, entered the mix. Then the sounds formed themselves into rhythmic patterns. The patterns were the main things. At any given time they were typically governed by an easily identifiable pulse, but their beginnings and endings coincided only rarely, and usually the pulse itself remained silent. In other words, one could tap one's toe as the music built up steam; one could not, however, determine the music's meter, nor could one find in any single line accents that matched the accents of any other line.

Hamilton included in these pieces a few overt gestures a reference to vaudeville dance music in "One on Three," a section powered by an aggressive jazz beat in "No Rest" that could hardly fail to catch a listener's full attention. For the most part, though, the treatment of rhythmic patterns was as described above. One could take in the entirety of these often complex webs of sound, or one could concentrate on specific, relatively simple strands. The choice was the listener's own. So were the criteria by which the material might be judged I opted for a casual, somewhat hedonistic approach, and I didn't feel disappointed.

Isaacs John Fairbank sets himself a daunting task in "The Great Chinese Revolution" to make a coherent story of complex and turbulent events spanning almost 200 years, affecting one-quarter of the world's people, and occurring within a culture and political traditions that most Americans know about only superficially, if at all. As the author's foreword points out, in an age when serious scholars are expected to specialize, the broad view is usually left "to be cobbled together by textbook writers, popularizers and similar types who are often least qualified to do it." The charge of being unqualified could never be directed at Fairbank, who has studied, taught and written about China for more than a half-century and is one of America's most eminent and influential Sinologists. In this book Fairbank dispenses with scholarly formality and also with most of the normal paraphernalia of extensive source notes and bibliography. Yet "The Great Chinese Revolution" is not quite popular history, either, at least in the sense that it deals chiefly with "institutions, trends, and movements" rather than with personalities or the color and texture of events. For that reason, the book remains somewhat bloodless even while telling, as Fairbank writes, "one of the most dramatic stories of all time" the still unfinished struggle of the world's oldest civilization to modernize and adapt in a time of accelerating change.

Fairbank traces modern China's turmoil to a population explosion In the 18th century "a doubling in numbers that was even more massive," he observes, "than the contemporary growth of population in Europe and America." That demographic change had profound consequences. While life for most ordinary Chinese "was reduced more and more to a grim struggle for survival," the sheer increase in numbers led to a dramatic expansion of trade and the economy. Yet the Man-chu emperors who had ruled China since 1644, as well as the Chinese officials and landowners who served them, represented a static, tradition-bound system that proved unable to respond to the new forces at work in the country. By 1800, Fairbank writes, China presented "a remarkable paradox: the institutional structure of the society, especially the government, was showing little capacity for change, but the people and therefore the economy were undergoing rapid and tremendous growth." Under those strains, the imperial system with its traditional social and economic arrangements began to decay. Meanwhile, another major force for change appeared: Western traders and diplomats and missionaries, who arrived In increasing numbers during 1 tdtth Y.

VISITATION SAT. AFTER 1 :30 PM until Ser-vice Time. John King Fairbank the 19th century seeking markets, political influence and converts. (Most readers will find this part of the story more familiar, because Western writers, viewing China through the lenses of their own culture and history, have tended to portray the impact of the West as virtually the sole cause of China's upheavals. A major strength of "The Great Chinese Revolution" is that it avoids that ethnocentric perspective.

Foreign influences were important, but, as Fairbank writes, "China's center of gravity lay within, among the Chinese people, and that is where the ingredients of revolution From those beginnings, Fairbank traces the events that jostled China from within and without during the next century and a half: the Opium Wars, the Taiping and Boxer uprisings, the overthrow of the Manchus, the rise of the competing Nationalist and Communist movements, the war with Japan and the civil war leading to the triumph of the Communist revolution under Mao Tse-tung. That victory did not end the travail, but spawned instead a new succession of economic and political convulsions arising from Mao's revolutionary fantasies. Only since Mao's death 10 years ago this fall and the succession of China's present leader, Deng Xiaoping, has the turmoil of revolutionary change appeared to subside. In recounting these events, Fair-bank shows that while the cast of antagonists was constantly shifting, China's struggle on its deepest level has been with its own antiquity and cultural traditions: a "tremendous hold of inertia," as Fairbank calls it, arising from thousands of years of Chinese history and binding both individuals and institutions in its grip. The battle, in other words, has been between China's present and its past a past to which Fairbank has given us a useful and informative guide.
