...Audience. To the directors of the Philharmonic, Boulez's kind of belligerence is obviously a risk to be seriously weighed. So is his lack of experience in the bread-and-butter area of any symphony orchestra's life: the 19th century repertory. By and large he made his conducting reputation on no more than half a dozen works-notably Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps, to which he brings astonishing rhythmic control and a primitive passion for the work's savage shafts of power. He does not much care for Brahms, Tchaikovsky, or Bruckner...
...outside London proper, at Hampton Court. Diners are advised to arrive early for an appetite-inducing stroll through the formal gardens of Hampton Court Palace across the street. Two restaurants, lavish wine cellar (stock valued at $125,000). Suggested entree: lobster à l'américaine (sauteed in butter, flamed with brandy and served on a bed of rice with its own lobster sauce). Or Dover sole, poached in cream sauce and Meursault, garnished with baby shrimps. The tab: about...
...FIRST FEW days were miserable. Ten hours of ax-swinging is grueling work for a newcomer, and the olive green cans of C-rations and the soggy ground back at the campsite offer little solace.

With storehouses filled and the world market clotted, leaders of the Common Market's agriculture section are trying to persuade consumers to switch from margarine to butter. The proposed solution, which includes a tax of at least $60 a ton on the food oils used in margarine, would slash by one-third the U.S.'s $500 million annual soybean exports...
...setting for a good Saturday matinee must be carefully selected. The theater should be old, cavernous and dirty, with lots of balcony railing to prop sneakers on. The popcorn butter should be on the congealed side, and the popcorn itself sold in hard wax containers, which, when stomped, produce a report like an 18th century cannon. The candy counter should be well stocked with small, hard sweets that can be hurled at antagonists below...
