...other major roles include an old fop who presages decay, and a satanic barber who rouges the hero's face for his final and failing encounter with Tadzio. All are emanations of death, and all are sung with a consummate leaven of evil power by another Britten regular, Bass-Baritone John Shirley-Quirk...
...Vietnamese entrepreneur, known to G.I.s as "Miss Lee," talked about the future of her business-Saigon's Magic Fingers Steam Massage and Barber Shop. At one time, Miss Lee had 60 girls at work; now she has only seven. "Everything fini," she lamented. No one seemed more downcast than "Momma Bich," who played hostess during the 1960s to some of the wildest parties ever seen in Saigon's back rooms. U.S. Special Forces troops used to lavish $1,000 apiece on parties that lasted a whole weekend. Now fat and aging (she is 32), Momma is left with...

More important, Nixon has been weaning AFL-CIO Chief George Meany away from the much more protectionist Burke-Hartke Bill. A Nixon-Mills-Meany alliance would be practically unstoppable...
...this season of chill and exasperation, Chancellor of the Exchequer Anthony Barber arrived in Parliament last week to perform that ancient British rite of spring, the presentation of the annual budget. The document that he produced from the traditional red leather box was a curious one. Barber himself described it as "broadly neutral," and it was a sort of plea for economic truce. Most noticeably, it dispensed an assortment of minor gifts for practically everybody. Unemployment and sickness benefits were raised by $2.46 a week and pensions by $3.94 (at a total cost of $1.4 billion). Taxes on children...
