...unsatisfied and on the rare occasions when she speaks from a platform. And the control is there just four days after the attempt on her husband's life as she greets a correspondent in the East Wing sitting room on the second floor of the White House. The chamber has been Reaganized. There are two jars of jelly beans and a dish of bonbons. A pair of massive traditional sofas has come cross country from their former home in Pacific Palisades...
...scenes to avert an explosive showdown. Jaruzelski met with Poland's Roman Catholic Primate, Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, to enlist his help. Church officials and intellectuals reportedly proposed a compromise plan: to turn over the Bydgoszcz investigation to a special parliamentary committee and to grant the farmers a "chamber of agriculture" rather than a union.

Some people in Carroll, a corn-country town of about 9,000 inhabitants, were miffed, but some weren't. Glanting took time off from work, flew to Carroll, and with the enthusiastic help of the town's Chamber of Commerce, invested the "pantheon"-a small concrete structure in a cornfield-with a rusty barbecue grill, some worn-out tires, and pictures of such dull heroes as William Bendix, Hugh Beaumont (the father in Leave It to Beaver), Alan Hale Jr. (the skipper in Gilligan 's Island) and Walter Mondale...

...influence of Speculum and ensembles like it-the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble and Da Capo Chamber Players-has been obvious. A decade ago, many professors were dismissing new music as a waste of time. Unorthodox techniques like multiphonics (the simultaneous production of more than one note on such normally single-toned instruments as the flute) or reaching into the piano to pluck its strings were considered irrelevant to Bach, Mozart and Brahms. Yet some of the teachers' most talented students were busy reading books like Bruno Bartolozzi's seminal New Sounds for Woodwind, published...
