...sought help for them from the sprawling network of international organizations designed to ease the way for just such refugees as themselves. The first 2,000 fishermen to arrive got $3.50 each, plus some cast-off clothing, from the government of Nationalist China. A few boxes of food from CARE went to about 527 who arrived last April. For the others there was nothing...

...word is due the special care spent on the printed program. The cover appropriately reproduced a lovely painting of a Renaissance singer, flautist and lutanist (which might have been identified as being by an anonymous French master c.1525 and now in the Harrach Gallery in Vienna). The composers dates were supplied; and on the back was a full dated list of the original sources for all the pieces (though Rameau's work was published...
