Charles Ives: Washington's Birthday and Three Outdoor Scenes (William Strickland conducting the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Imperial Philharmonic of Tokyo; Composers Recordings). The four previously unrecorded pieces by Ives run from a delightfully winterstruck evocation of all outdoors to the musical equivalent of pop art-an aural collage of clipped folk tunes and imitative sounds. On the other side, the music of Composer William Flanagan gives a chaste and lovely setting to an early poem that Edward Albee now likes to forget he ever wrote...

...Lord Peter Wimsey. Balliol wafts along on a modest budget of $450,000, costs students about $1,260 a year, and is well laced with state scholarship boys.

Only the brightest apply each year, and only about one out of six (including six or eight Americans) gets in. Hardly anyone drops...
