Just as Talleyrand proclaimed that war is much too serious a thing to be left to military men, Woody was convicted that music is much is too important a thing to be left to its professionals. So the bulk of his four decades of teaching was directed at non-concentrators--through the introductory survey Music 1, which attracted hundreds every year, or his more topical and specialized courses. This concern for the layman led him to tape a course on the history of the symphony for nationally syndicated educational...

In a terrifying kiss the ringmaster at last discards for a moment his detached domination...
...country's biggest business enterprises. Using membership dues and bank loans, the students have bought a driving school, bookstores, a book publishing company, majority interest in a fertilizer plant, and a 25% share in Amer-Tupakka, a cigarette manufacturer that has annual sales of $11 million. The bulk of the unions' annual income of $7,500,000 comes from their real estate, worth at least $25 million.
