...Cultural Bonanza. Sitting in Sydney's harbor, Utzon's incomplete colossus is composed of three structures with cantile vered rooftops. Since they are seen from passing ships, Utzon conceived of the roofs as "the fifth fa?ade." Into them, he has poured all his inventiveness. The roof lines billow like the spinnakers of a squadron of racing yachts...
Below its roofs, Sydney's opera house shelters spaces to inspire a cultural bonanza. Its two large halls will seat 2,800 and 1,100 respectively. The complex also contains a 300-seat chamber-music room, a 400-seat subterranean experimental theater, and a restaurant that can serve 250 people.

There in the Nielsen top ten last week were the old familiar faces, from NBC's Bonanza, in first place for the second year, to Gomer Pyle, The Farmer's Daughter, Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, The Beverly Hillbillies, Walt Disney and Bewitched.

Hal Prince has precisely the right balance of creativity, charm and salesmanship that makes a successful producer. "It's a terrible shame if you're born the brightest guy in your class," he says...
...essential to success is a sure sense of timing. The right time to have broken into the computer industry or electronics or frozen food or Arizona real estate was in the 1950s; now those fields are crowded. Similarly, the bonanza days of mining and oil are probably gone. Other fields are invitingly open, however, and they can usually be spotted by keeping an eye on three things demographic changes, new legislation and the state of the U.S. and world economy...
