MOZART: DIVERTIMENTO NO. 2 (George Szell conducting a chamber group from the Cleveland Orchestra; Epic). Mozart composed this divertimento (for flute, oboe, bassoon, four horns and strings) after two operas and 26 symphonies, but he still had something to say; he was 16.

But there is strong support for the embargo in Congress, and what promises to be a noisy brawl over amendments to the act will begin as soon as the civil rights fight is settled...
