...Boy at the Door. In his 42 years, Antal Dorati has faced many a crisis and weathered them all. After he graduated from the Budapest Conservatory, where he worked under both Bartók and Kodály (TIME, July 19), he began to conduct in provincial German towns in his early 20s. Once, when he assured the doorman at Miinster's opera house that he was its new director, the doorman laughed in the boy's face, refused to let him in until a city official arrived to identify him. His next...

...Wagnalls bequest authorized the memorial's six trustees to award scholarships of $100 a semester to every Lithopolis (or Bloom Township) boy & girl who wanted to go to college, no matter what his grades or promise. Last week the first two scholarships had been approved: Marilyn Good, 18, would study the organ at Ohio's Otterbein College, and Donald Speakman, 18, was planning to take up farming at Ohio State. But Lithopolitans were worried. As Mrs. Mabel Stevenson, the memorial's secretary, said: "With all this new money, you can't tell just what kind...
