...Hurok disappears his organization will fall apart," he would say. "It'll go on, as long as they have the artists." Last week -two years after Hurok died at the age of 85-the current management of Hurok Concerts conceded that almost three dozen of its biggest box office draws had quit. The stampede out of Hurok began one of the biggest shake-ups in the concert business. Items...
...should be better for four-month-old birds placed atop a tower in New Jersey's Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge earlier this month. Two amateur falconers, Daniel Hays and Edward Howard, both 24, are living in a tent near the tower and keeping an eye on the nesting box. They will feed the young falcons through a trap door in the box (so the birds will not become accustomed to taking food from humans) until shortly after they make their first kill. Then, to learn more about the falcons' habits after they begin hunting on their own, Hays...
...left of the Metropolitan Opera, in a grassy glade surrounded by hedges and maples, free concerts by the Goldman Band are given at Damrosch Park on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8 p.m. The hottest tickets in town, however, remain those at the New York State Theater box office, where baleful balletomanes hang out trying to cadge freebies and spares to any performance by ex-Soviet Superstars Natalia Makarova and Mikhail Baryshnikov at the American Ballet Theater.

The Israelis felt they would have little difficulty in indicting Amin as a partner in the skyjacking-if not in the planning, then certainly in the developments after the Airbus landed at Entebbe. This, says Jerusalem, is what gave Israel the right to intrude on Ugandan territory to save...
Side by side in a box for a game at Yankee Stadium last week, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger-long a Yankee fan-and Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn-under threat of a lawsuit by the Yankees (TIME, June 28)-may have been secretly wondering what it would be like to switch jobs for a while. Kuhn could use shuttle diplomacy to bring about détente between team owners and players, whose contract impasse is as hard a problem to solve as the one in the Middle East. And Kissinger could use some advice on how to negotiate...
