...vice-presidency, Reagan insists that the governorship "offers a greater opportunity" to him "than there is in that other office." However, his protestations leave many professional observers unconvinced. "That's par for the course," chortled an elderly party in a Washington steam bath last week. That comment came from white-thatched Earl Warren, now Supreme Court Chief Justice, who, as Governor of California in 1948, gave up his dreams of running for President and accepted second spot on a ticket headed by New Yorker Tom Dewey...
...woodwind would do well to consider reverting to the policy of earlier summers and making all its concerts free - at least to students - since the Summer School reportedly shows a fat profit every year. It is really niggardly to ask students to pay money to sit it a Turkish bath and listen to music saddled with obbligati by fire sirens, motorcycle mufflers, and horns of the non-french variety...
...caliber of the work. "Fabulous!" raved the critic for the prestigious Neue Zurcher. "A collection of many practically unknown masterpieces." Particularly admired were two Van Goghs, a Landscape of Auvers painted just three weeks before his death in 1890 and an 1886 self-portrait. A voluptuous Renoir, After the Bath, painted in 1876, is the twin to one in Moscow's Push kin Museum.

In what both performers termed "an experiment," Menuhin practiced his violin for two days under Shankar's coaching so that he could sit in on a raga. Clad in a raw-silk tunic and sitting cross-legged amid a haze of incense, Menuhin might indeed have...
Endowed with typical Lutheran Nordic conservatism, the blond, blue-eyed Finn only slowly adopts the fads of the West. Miniskirts are just now appearing on Helsinki's streets. The Finn's first love remains the sauna bath. More than half a million families have their own private steam rooms, where temperatures rise to 275°F as the bather briskly whips his body with wet birch branches before dashing out and leaping into a frigid lake or snow bank. The sauna is said to develop the quality of sisu-a combination of courage, stamina, tenacity and stubbornness. Sisu...
