...final work of the concert, and thus the final work of the entire Monday night series, was Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire Op 21, (1912). Set to rather morbid poetry by Albert Giraud, the work exerted a curious kind of fascination on the audience--except those Philistines who apparently could not take it and left in the middle. The work's success owes in no small part to the performers, particularly conductor Jacques-Louis Monod, who made eminent sense out of music that is all too easily incomprehensible, and "narrator" Bethany Beardslee whose negotiation of all the weirdities of Schoenberg...
During the U.S. saucer era, which began when Pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine disklike objects erratically moving through the air near Mount Rainier in 1947, an Air Force unit called Project Blue Book has logged and evaluated more than 11,000 sightings. In most cases, the investigators eventually identified the UFOs as aircraft, balloons, satellites, flocks of birds, light reflected off clouds or shiny surfaces, atmospheric phenomena, meteors, stars, planets and the aurora borealis.

...seems only too likely. Not surprisingly, most labor leaders share Reuther's belief that workers deserve a bigger slice of last year's record corporate profits. Few major contracts expired in 1966, however, and corporate profits are off this year. As University of Chicago Labor Specialist Arnold R. Weber puts it, "Now that the unions are able to get to the bargaining table, the pickings are not so succulent." As a result, adds Assistant Labor Secretary James Reynolds, "management resistance is growing stronger at the same time that labor demands are going up. This gives rise...
