...fight is an old one in American Protestantism, but it has grown up anew in the Missouri Synod with Concordia's efforts to build a topflight Scripture faculty. When Preus' investigation team arrived on the Concordia campus, it was stacked with fundamentalists who see the more liberal position as heretical; a number of theologians feared a purge...
...Certainly there is no organization quite like the fine 50-piece orchestra that Boudreau builds anew each summer with young (average age: 23) wind and percussion players from all over the U.S. and, this year, Japan and Canada. It may not match the luxurious silkiness of the Philadelphia Orchestra, but then it has no strings attached. Drawn from 300 to 400 auditioners a year, the orchestra is a crisp, vibrant sounding ensemble that can give its conductor just about anything he wants. What Boudreau wants is as much style and excitement in an electronic-and-live composition...
Milestone Formula. The F-14 controversy highlights anew the gathering crisis in defense industries. The weapons builders are extremely vulnerable to the decline in defense procurements and the nation's growing disenchantment with the military. Grumman, long noted as a well-run company, apparently could not foresee some of its problems. To illustrate the cost imponderables, President Evans recently phoned a friend who is a General Motors officer and asked how much a car comparable to his new $4,200 Chevrolet Impala will cost in 1978, the year that Grumman's F-14 contract is supposed...
...issues of troop reduction and arms limitation because the Soviets had relaxed their positions. Does this mean that the Kremlin is genuinely seeking better relations with the West? Certainly the Russians have enough reasons to do so.

Another factor, which Brezhnev stressed to visiting Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau two weeks ago, is the economic drain of maintaining massive forces in Eastern...
...opera. Most opera managers return the favor, justly abhorring the quality of the operas usually produced by today's leading composers. As a way out of this impasse, Pierre Boulez, the aging enfant terrible of French music, once suggested blowing up all the old opera houses and starting anew. Britten's Owen Wingrave at least suggests that less draconian musical measures are possible...
