Mozart: The Wind Concertos (various soloists, the Berlin Philharmonic, Herbert von Karajan conductor; Angel, 3 LPs, $17.98). An exquisitely executed anthology for the Mozartean who has everything-or thinks he does. The selections range from what might be called the camaraderie concertos, the Sinfonia Concertante, K. 297b (featuring oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn) and the Flute and Harp Concerto, K. 299, to the solo works for bassoon (K. 191), flute (K. 313), oboe (K. 314) and clarinet (K. 622). Von Karajan's soloists, drawn from the Berlin Philharmonic, are superb...

Paul Murphy, assistant to the managing editor of the normally staid Bulletin, thought it was worth a try, and the "summer job" may turn into year-round employment. The salary of $50 a week is not bad by sub-teen standards, and Bulletin editors are even...
...Bulletin selects the letters for Angel to answer in order to screen out obscene ones written by what she calls "crankpots." The editors profess a hands-off policy with her copy and insist that it goes out to her followers just as she writes it. Angel ponders three letters for each column, takes an hour to write answers in longhand, then laboriously types them. She works in her bedroom on the second floor of her family's row house, shooing away three younger siblings as deadlines approach and the pressure mounts. Her quick success has made Angel consider giving...
