...Vienna, Conductor Julius Rudel spent endless hours building miniature theaters and staging puppet operas-Salome in a shoe box, Parsifal in a packing crate. The training proved to be apt preparation for his job as director of the New York City Opera. For the past eight years, operating on a budget that would pass for carfare at the Metropolitan Opera, he has been nurturing his company in a glorified Manhattan shoe box called City Center. Last week, like slum kids transported to the country, Rudel and his 200-member troupe moved into the spacious luxury of the New York State...

...inexact, since it is a sweeping forecast made in January of what the world will be like in the fiscal year that begins in July and ends 18 months after the budget is presented. Is the new budget sound or foolhardy? In the view of many economists, it is apt to aggravate inflation by pumping more money into the economy than it takes out at a time when production is running so high that shortages of manpower, material and machines are becoming acute. The budget is obviously trying to do too much too soon, and Lyndon Johnson will ultimately have...
