...infamous programme for Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique consists of the strange visions of an "oversensitive young musician" who poisoned himself with opium. From the opening bars onward, our wonder grows: Where is the sensitivity? Where is the musician? Ah, but this irresistable old war-horse (or more accurately, warpig) has finally gotten the treatment it deserves. For the honest few who revere the Symphony not as serious music but as a macabre, hilarious circus, the HRO's performance was mad bliss. After a reasonably straight face through the verbose Reveries, the drippy waltz of the Ball episode, and the charmingly empty...
...Ah, yes, cooed the great-great-great-granddaughter of George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, "it's so romantic, this history and genealogy business. I'm so happy the flag is going back to America." Mrs. Barbara Soames was also delighted at what the flag was leaving behind for her: the $15,120 paid for the rare bunting, a modified Old Glory made about 1795, with 15 six-pointed stars and 15 stripes to represent the original colonies and newly admitted Vermont and Kentucky.

The kids today don't like to see me playing bedroom scenes with a young leading lady. It's unhealthy. It's unreasonable. Honestly, it's unpleasant." Well then, to change the subject, how did he feel, now that his bride of three months, sometime Actress Dyan Cannon, 27, is expecting a baby next May? "Ecstatic," beamed Cary...
...green and gold chamber of the U.N.'s Security Council, the eyes of the diplomats flicked back and forth from the clock on the north wall to the impassioned face of Pakistan's Foreign Minister Zulfikar AH Bhutto. Before him lay the answer to everyone's question: Would it be wider war or tempo rary peace for South Asia? Bhutto waited until the last possible moment before answering...
