...right of the Chicago school are the truly consistent advocates of free market capitalism-the radical libertarian Austrian school. The Austrians represent an approach to economics fundamentally different from the previous two schools. The major differences between the Chicago conservatives and Harvard liberals are partly theoretical, but mainly empirical and philosophical. The Austrians, however, challenge the basic methodologies of both these schools and disagree with their major theoretical models...

Dorati led the National in crisp, meticulous performances of Nos. 1, 52 and 104 the first night, and Alexander Schneider led the Curtis Institute Orchestra surgingly in Nos. 6, 7, 8, 22 and 35 on the second and third.

Son of a New Jersey attorney, Donohue studied mechanical engineering at Brown University but began racing professionally in 1966, and quickly built a reputation as a cool, pleasant, almost error-free technician. After winning several major events-including the Indianapolis 500 in 1972-and more than $1 million in purses, he quit driving briefly in 1974, then slipped into the slim cockpit of a Formula One car this year in pursuit...
