What lives in an Eastern or Mid-western city, ranges in age from 21 to 40, earns about $7,500 a year and is thirstier than a Bavarian immigrant? Answer: the typical U.S. beer drinker.

...believer?till I see for myself." The work is wildly dramatic, the bold musical motives deriving partly from the sounds of the ancient Church Slavonic language ("Glagolitic" is the name given to its written form). From the first brassy fanfare, Czech Conductor Rafael Kubelik leads the Bavarian Radio Orchestra and Chorus in a rousing performance, with brilliant singing by Soprano Evelyn Lear and Tenor Ernst Haefliger...
...Christian Social Union, the C.D.U.'s affiliate in Bavaria. Nonetheless, as Strauss was re-elected C.S.U. leader in Munich last week amid the redolence of wurst, beer and cigar smoke, it was clear that Franz Josef was as imperial - and imperious - as ever, and a far less palatable Bavarian export than Löwenbr...
