...under his hot-eyed glance. To his chagrin, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has even outfitted its ushers in Indian-style caps and silk coats like sherwanis. He is also somewhat embarrassed by the oversized portrait of himself, painted by Marion Pike, that hangs in the lobby of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion near the bar; but, typically, Mehta says, "Well, I'll say one thing: the bar makes a lot of money since that portrait...
Moscow's lingering chagrin over Svetlana Alliluyeva's defection may have been mitigated somewhat last week by the spectacle of four earnest young Americans describing to Russian audiences their desertion from the aircraft carrier Intrepid as a protest against the Viet Nam war. "They're playing it big," sighed a U.S. official. Twice aired on Soviet television and displayed in Pravda, the self-proclaimed "patriotic deserters" were in Moscow in transit to a neutral country where they might "give all our strength to the struggle against the immoral, inhuman...
...some spots, somewhat ravaging in others.

It was vulgar, unfunny and at the first act's end a rather uncomfortable pom-pom girl conducted the audience in a chorus of Stokely Carmichael's chant, "Hell no, we won't go." The CIA's plan backfired, though, because the audience was so determined...
Standard as such hardware and experience may be in other parts of the world, it is in short supply in Southeast Asia, as U.S. military logistics experts have discovered to their chagrin. Lusteveco tugs and barges helped break the Saigon shipping bottleneck, and the company is bidding for similar work at Thailand's choked port of Bangkok. Still, happy as he is to have the U.S. military business (which now accounts for 12% of sales), Fernandez finds that he is hard-pressed to "accommodate that Viet Nam effort," looks for the day when he can "bring back...
