CLASSHICAL PERCUSSION (Cambridge). Harold Farberman is one of a group of contemporary composers who, in trying to bridge the gap between classical music and jazz, have jumped with something of a splash into what is called "the third stream." A former whiz-bang drummer with the Boston Symphony, Farberman concentrates on percussion in his compositions, uses other instruments sparingly. In Evolution, a French horn appears briefly as well as a voice (Phyllis Curtin's). Progressions' percussion is punctuated by a flute.

They either let their locks dangle just above their eyebrows, a la Prince Valiant, or sweep them back over one side of the forehead into the "frat" look.

Then off she goes in hot pursuit across New York, around Rome's Colosseum and Ostia beach...
...engines or smashed hulls. But there was Musson putt-putting along at a mere 160 m.p.h., keeping everything together and racking up points. Going into the fourth and final heat, Miss Bar-dahl was tied with Miss Notre Dame for first place, each with two wins and one second. Bang went the starter's gun and off shot Notre Dame ahead of Miss Bardahl. Musson appeared beaten. But a fuel line burst in third-place Miss Exide's engine compartment. The flames forced Driver Bill Brow to dive into the lake, and that automatically halted the race...
