...most people, music is a kind of bath to wash in," laments the 83-year-old patriarch of Hungarian music, Zoltan Kodály. "They react with their nerves, not their minds." With saintly dedication to the idea that good music is "the food of the soul," Kodály has labored most of his life to make it understandable as well as enjoyable. To souls nourished on dissonant modern music, Kodály's brand may seem like rather stale strudel. His themes remain resolutely melodic, and his rhythms never stray far from Slavic dances.

Besides a weekly dance, cocktail party and dinner, there are three tennis courts, two swimming pools, an outdoor communal whirlpool bath, two sauna rooms, a billiards room, a party room, and almost nightly discussion groups earnestly debating Viet Nam, drug addiction and civil rights...

Floor mats and cushions-many of them hand-embroidered by the car owner's routine wife-are assiduously cleaned, often by tiny, transistorized vacuum cleaners. A recent survey showed that...
Happy in the Bath. For all the problems, chances are good that Liz will survive. She has pulled through several others. When the First Lady made her whistle-stop tour of the South in the 1964 presidential campaign, Liz kept overworked, underfed reporters happy with a steady flow of banter and favors. Taking note of their sweaty condition, she announced: "On the theory that the press that bathes together stays together, we have reserved three rooms, baths, and showers and 150 towels at the Duval Hotel in Tallahassee tonight." To reporters who missed the train, she offered...
