...Kostelanetz featured Adler in the New York Philharmonic's informal "Promenades" series at Manhattan's Lincoln Center-his first appearance with the Philharmonic in more than 20 years. His performances of Rumanian Fantasy for Harmonica and Orchestra, written for him in 1956 by Rumanian-born Composer Francis Chagrin, were worth the wait.

Europe, traditionally the primary focus of American foreign relations, seems to many of its leaders to have been relegated by Washington to stepchild status. Not since June 1965 has a U.S. President or Vice President visited the Continent despite the swift and subtle changes that have overtaken Europe. Last week Hubert Humphrey set out on a two-week, seven-nation European swing aimed at demonstrating that the U.S. has not cut its ties because...
