...persuaded to offer some reasons why the life of a billionaire is not roses all the way. "Quite a bother," to Getty, 66, and an altar-scarred veteran of five marriages, is a continual stream of letters from ladies proposing to be his sixth missus. Among his other complaints: "People keep writing me for money. They don't realize I don't have any spare cash...
...year-old Vienna Philharmonic is a patrician among symphony orchestras. Others may be suaver, more brilliant, more impassioned, but no other orchestra brings to 18th and 19th century classics the same air of joyous spontaneity.

Among its 420 full professors, it boasts 33 members of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Famed for aerodynamics and mathematics, it relegates the humanities to the old university (founded in 1755) in downtown Moscow. Its real heart is the new (1953) Palace of Science, a vast complex of 37 buildings that sprawl atop the suburban Lenin Hills on the site of what-ten years ago-was a peasant village...
