TEMPLE UNIVERSITY MUSIC FESTIVAL, Ambler, Pa. During a six-week festival of music and dance, the emphasis will he on chamber music, solo recitals, and the smaller-scale symphonic works of the masters-from Beethoven to Bartók performed by such artists as the ubiquitous Van Cliburn, Soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Tenor Richard Tucker, Cellist Leonard Rose, Clarinetist Benny Goodman, and Anshel Brusilow's Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Ballet will take over the Greek-style amphitheater on four consecutive Thursdays beginning June 27. Ella Fitzgerald (July 12, 13) and Duke Ellington (July 25) will add a touch...

Lytton has made a career of living up to that flamboyant self-assessment. While competitors derisively nicknamed him "Black Bart," and grew apoplectic at his unbankerlike antics, he built his savings and loan holding company from a 1958 midget into a $685 million-asset mammoth, fifth largest in the U.S. And he burnished his status by becoming a patron of the arts, a party-giving friend of Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, and state finance chairman (from 1958 to 1962) of the Democratic Party...
